750mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light-medium sweet apples and a touch of brown sugar. Flavour brings out light-medium sweetness, some apples, toffee and caramel. Very soft on the palate, with a caramel finish. Very good.

Light green colour. The aroma is green apple and light sulphur. Dry, apple skin taste with light fruit, a light fermented off note. Balanced sweetness in the finish allows it to drink quite nicely.

Bottle pour, much thanks to mcberko for the share on this. Always love trying these ice ciders. Some of the best tastes in the world. Crystal clear apple juice pour with no head. Sweeter than expected red apple aroma. Like a spiced apple sauce. Flavor is generously sweet and thick. The right kind of sweet. Not overwhelming or candy. Pleasant, with a bold backbone to it. Leaves quite a lasting impression. Purely a magic potion here. Love it.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden copper. Aroma brings out treacle tart, caramelized apples, and toffee. Flavour is highly sweet even for an ice cider, with toffee, treacle and caramelized apples. Loads of caramelized apples on the finish. Not the most complex ice cider, but it's certainly decadent and well-made. Excellent.

Light amber. Has a light appley nose. Sweet but there’s some mellow fruitiness, lots of cinnamon and spice. The acidity is really nice, lends a fun sense of balance. Very good quality.

375mL bottle, pours a clear golden with no head. Aroma is intense, with notes of brown sugar, caramel and treacle toffee. Flavour is complex as hell, with notes of treacle toffee, brown sugar and caramel. Lovely red apple quality to it. Medium-high sweet, but never cloying. Fantastic stuff.
