About
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.

La Face Cachée De La Pomme Neige Réserve from Verger Hemmingford

9.2/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 10 Overall 9

2015-03-25, tasting at Matt’s, vintage 2009, 6 years old, 10% ABV, 8-5-9-5-18
Pefect balance of sugars and acids.

2011-09-02, corked bottle from L’Epicerie, Paris, as Neige Éternelle; Recolte 2004, 7 years old; 9-5-9-5-18=46
Gold color; it pours viscous. Deep, warming aroma of apples and stewed apples, with light citrus acidity, English apple pie, mature pineapple, and a trace of hazelnuts. Thick body, velvety mouthfeel; powerful and syrupy apple juice flavor, with just accents of caramelization; there is a high acidity that perfectly balances the sugars, a touch of pineapple too, and the delicate fruitiness of ripe strawberries; complex and balanced. The final is warming, sweet, acidic, long.
Excellent.

7.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Bottle: Poured a medium yellow color cider. Aroma of sweet apple pie is really interesting and enjoyable and more sweet then most regular cider. Texture is lighter then most ice cider and is close to a regular cider. This is a great middle point between drinking a ice cider for taste but looking for a lower ABV.

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.
