Bottle - Red peel and acidity. Deep orange gold. Sweet and orange with no bitterness, apple, pear and caramel. Wonderfully sweet and rich. No real pear, but you can tell it’s just not Apple.

Has a golden-amber, has the typical fruity sugary notes of a classic ice cider. Very rich, decadent, pear...rich brown sugar...just a touch of acidity. Excellent quality, just rich and the pear is really blending into apple territory here. Any thicker and this will be sirop de Liege. Where’s the herve?

Amber color, bright, luminous. Amazing aroma, caramelized fruit juices, caramelized pineapple, hints of pepper. Luscious mouthfeel, loaded with sweet and caramelized sugars, Swiss resinée in the final; low tier of acidity.
Wonderful.

200mL bottle, pours a clear caramel bronze. Aroma brings out notes of caramel, toffee, and residual sweetness. Flavour is very complex, with notes of toffee, caramel, brown sugar, and treacle. Sweet and decadent, without being cloying, Treacly, sweet, and caramelized pear sweetness on the finish. Phenomenal.

looks okay, kind of a dense amber apple juice. the nose is actually quite weak. there is a little cranberry aroma in there. taste is similar. not thick or dense, slightly bits of brandy in here. apple throughout but more of a sweet and really violent in your face apple flavor, almost too much despite the very weak mouthfeel

2010 version and a big thanks to Duffman for this! Had it at the RBSG Pgh 2016 grand tasting. So beautiful in the mild fruity perfume aroma, makes me think of sex and this girl has legs too boot, right up to her ass. First taste is oh so good and gracious, so civilized with its sweet waxy feel. So strong too, I haven’t had many iced ciders (and this is a perry) but it seems to bring more heat than I’m used to. Mouthfeel is so smooth and civilized, yummy! Makes me all happy inside. Great stuff! this stuff ROCKS! Thanks duff!
