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.

Sampled from the bottle. Pours a clear deep gold with no head whatsoever. Aroma was full of extremely fresh apples, both tart and sweet with a bit of a backing sweet fruit note. Flavor began with sweet apples but was balanced very nicely by tart apples as well as a slight note of baked apples in the finish. Great on the tongue.

Big thanks to Douglas for hauling this back from the Great White North. Pours clear pale copper with nice legginess. The aroma is full and thick and sludges across my nose with apple notes mixed with a pleasing apple skin like earthiness, a touch of floral, apple syrup and a mild level of apple skin tannin tartness. The taste is rich goodness with thick sweet apple yum as well as pleasing notes of apple skin and a subtly complex earthiness. ‘tis good. ‘tis real good.

Bottle at Mes Tasting. Pours clear, rich gold. Huge, rich apple sauce aroma. Quite sweet, lots of apples, caramelized sugar, tons of apple sauce, very mild booze. Full in body, no carbonation, a touch syrupy. Somewhat warming on the finish with more apple sauce, spices, crumb cake. Delicious, potent, wonderful.

Aroma is sweet apple notes and some slight wood in there as well. Has no head, but ice ciders aren’t supposed to have head, are they? Okay gold-orange body. Flavour is muddy and sugary with excessive sweetness and not enough flavour showing through. Wet finish. Far too syrupy and simple for my liking.
