Apple shaped bottle, many thanks Ramón! My 20th Ice Cider. Golden color with no head. Aroma is bratapfel, cellar, smooth must. Taste is sweet natural apples, slightly sirupy, gummibears, vanilla, a touch nutty, a touch tannins, no real acidity there, but it doesn't feel too sweet. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Tasty and very balanced, though not too deep nor complex. A simple delight.

6-pack from the LCBO. Have not bought Magnotta in a while, but their IPA was my first look at the real style and quite liked it over 15 years ago when I started rating beers. Pours a hazy golden-orange colour with a white cap, decent stay and nice lace. Aromas of grassy hops, floral with some light caramel malts. The taste is grassy bitter with a little dryness. Fruity hints in the background. Another good product, but preferred from the bottle.
Earlier Rating: 4/15/2012 Total Score: 3.2
Originally rated May 2004. Golden orange in colour, this IPA with a medium head leaves a foamy lacing. Lightly carbonated, I can smell hints of citrus (specially oranges). It has a medium bitter taste to it but with a smooth finish. The strong alcohol content is not unpleasant, but hits the right spot in your head. Better then Keith’s for a Canadian IPA.

375mL bottle, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out vanilla, sweet apple and caramel. Flavour is moderately complex, with notes of caramel, vanilla and medium apple. Moderate complexity for an iced cider, with a sweet, alcoholic finish. Not up there amongst the best ice ciders - but still quite nice.

Blond color, light shade. Mild but nice aroma of stewed apples, a bit woody and sour. For an Ice Cider, it has a moderate sweetness level; some cider profile, moderate acidity.
Good, not exciting.

Bottle - Bread and dark grains. Clear copper with a beige head. Toffee and grains. Nice sweetness and caramel flavours, with some slight chocolate notes. There is an odd smell that translates to the flavour. The best of their offerings.

Bottle - Pale malt and some overripe fruit. Clear gold with a good white head. Overripe stone fruit and a sweet finish. A little more body that a light beer and a bit fruity.
