Pour from a 50cL bottle. Pours hazy pale blonde. Some sweet, pale apples on the nose. Flavour is weak rotting apples, some straw. Christ, how is this an ice cider.

Quite pale. The aroma is like weak apple juice. Light, kind of like fermented apple skins, not so much cider, let alone ice cider.

50cl bottle, pours a hazy blonde, no head. Nose is rather muddled, with armpits, musty apple core, and some sugars. Flavour is full of rotting apple core, mustiness, and hay. How is this an ice cider? Just tastes like a slightly infected, very funky (in a bad way) boozy cider. Very unimpressive.

Poured from 50cl bottle (2024 vintage; lot 07/03/24). Hazed pale white blonde with almost no white head. Apple core, feint booze, light carbonation. Average.

500ml @ Ryan's shared with Farees and Alex (thx for the bottle!).
Aroma: some booze and fermented out apples.
Taste: along the same lines, feels more like a boozy apple champagne.
Overall: doesn't look/smell/taste like an ice cider.

Bottle, courtesy of Daniele; 5% ABV
Pale blond colour. The aroma is light, some acidity. Moderate sweetness, light apple juice, no depth, but at least the acidity is balanced.
