Description
Formerly known as 'La Face Cachée De La Pomme' and 'Domaine Neige' but those names no longer legally belong to François Pouliot. But this is the same orchard where the original ice cider producer continues his business after losing his trademark names in a legel settlement with his former business partners.

Bottle. Pours crystal clear golden orange with no head. Aroma is intensified apple - I don’t know how else to describe it. Flavor is about the same, quite sweet, strong apple goodness. Medium body, some warming from the ABV. Pretty darn tasty for desert.

Apple, caramel, slight blue cheese, honey in the nose. Huge apple, honey, light lemon, cheese, nicely acidic to balance the huge syrupy sweetness, with a touch of alcohol burn as well. Fully body, oily and silky. Great stuff. I liked the sparkling version a bit more.

750 mL bottle courtesy of JulienHuxley. Thanks for this, my 100th cider rating! Pours a clear golden color with no head. Fairly strong legs. Aroma of tart apple juice, mild honey and tannins. A touch of vanilla and smoke. The taste is sweet apples, apple skins, vanilla, tart finish. Medium bodied, slight booze, well balanced. Nice cider.

Bottle from Frasers Wine Merchants [270413]
Brillant golden yellow, crystal clear, thin white rim around glass, great apperance for a cider/apple ice wine. Beautiful packaging.
Aroma - Intense sweet fresh apples, slighty tart note initially, some warming alcohol on the nose, dab of apple caramel
Taste - Extremely rich intense fresh apple nectar, smooth apple pie filling, incredible apple flavour, very fresh, just the sweet juicy part of the apple concentrated, what an incredible flavour - an explosion of apple in the mouth. It’s not complex - it’s just sweet apples but the flavour is phenomenal.
Palate - Full body, very very smooth, rich lingering sweet intense fresh apple, it’s sweet but not too sweet, completely mouthcoating the mouth with that fantastic apple nectar. The finish is flawless - very long linger of that fantastic rich apple and so so smooth.
Overall - This is one of the best flavoured liquids I have ever tasted. It’s worth the money to try once. I’m really seriously thinking of getting the top of the range version now! Incredible!

Same bottle [280413].....wonderful very intense sweet, but not too sweet fresh apple - it’s the best part of the apple flavour concentrated into a very smooth oily but sticky liquid nectar...i’m staying at 4.6

37,5cl Bottle from Vinmonopolet. Shared with Pops. Thanks to Meilbye for picking it up. Pours clear golden with a few bubbles on top. Lots of fresh red apples, a bit of vanilla and wood. Crisp and warming with a dry finish. Remarkable fruityness. Lovely sipper. A shame it is so expensive.

Bottled. A light yellow cider with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of apples and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of over ripe apples, alcohol, and a bit of wood, leading to a dry finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.
