Bottle at home. Syrupy thick golden copper pour. Nose is rich apple sauce and honey. Tastes of honey, ripe apples, white wine, some gummy candy. Thick heavy bodied. Quite nice.

Bottle poured, with much thanks to luttonm for the share. Such a treat to try an ice cider like this. Quintessential, or at least up there with the others that are. Dark copper pour. Pear, caramel apple, brown sugar, sweet, and bold. Flavor is all the same, and perfectly put together. Pear fruit seems to come out for me, but blended nicely with a caramel apple, and soft apple spice. A full array of spiced fruit seem to go into this cider. Nectar seems to be the most fitting word that I can pull out of this description. Delicious, and deserves all the respect it gets. Loved it.

Récolte 2012 bottle, generously shared by luttonm, I can’t express how grateful I am. Dark ruby-like amber color with no head. Aroma is concentrated orange nectar, some other sweet fruits, lychee and strawberry maybe - not that much apples! -, honey, caramel, tobacco, a subtle wildness, incredibly rich and dense. Taste is honey, oranges and the other sweet fruits, apple pie, cinnamon, some spices, a bit tanninic, woody, vanilla. Warming finish. Sirupy mouthfeel, no carbonation, rich and complex. A singular experience. This is the nectar of the gods, and probably one of the best drinks humanity has ever produced.

Small bottle generously shared by luttonm, I can’t express how grateful I am! Glowing golden color with no head. Aroma is red apple skin, sweet, some wild tartness, honey, very rich and complex. Taste is red apples, intense and concentrated, wild and tart, but without actually being sour, honey again, caramel. Immensely great. Like a naturally wild-fermented apple gummy bear. No carbonation, warming finish. This is one of the most amazing drinks I’ve ever had.

Bottle pour at Matt’s. Huge thanks for the share! A lighter copper pour with no head. Dense aroma with sugars and bold apple. Thick, with a ton of caramel sugar, brown sugar, and a sour apple linger. Caramel apple late afterthought. Thick, but juicy as a linger. Incredible ice cider, though I have learned to expect no less.

Bottle shared at Ratebeer awards show. 30/01/2016. .Many thanks to Julien. A clear bright golden orange coloured pour, viscous. Aroma is lovely cinnamon, apple pie, sweet nectar, hints of maple. Flavour is composed of sticky sweet sugars, tangy apple, hint of cinnamon, syrup, layered tangy apple. Palate is tangy, full sticky, syrupy. Lovely.

750 ml bottle shared by T.J., killing it tonight. Aroma is apples, sugar, mineral water. Taste is of apples, sugar, and mild minerals. Lighter bodied with a great crispness. Snappy carbonation. Overall, not too sweet nor cloying or heavy. Very nice. Maybe just a tad of alcohol taste.
