COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A sweet still ice cider, available in 375ml bottles. 2009 vintage.
A unique product for the UK, taking the principles of ice-wine production and applying them to apples! Blenheim Orange and Laxtons Superb apples were chosen for their delicate flavour and balance. The juice was frozen and allowed to thaw yielding a terrifically sweet concentrated juice. With spiced apple, orange, apricot and honey on the nose and palate this special cider is perfect partnered with fruity desserts, or with good strong hard cheeses.

375ml bottle pours a dark gold/amber with no head and medium legs. Nose is big McIntosh apple, apple sauce, very pure. Flavor is better, apple, sweet apple sauce, mild spice, like regular pressed cider with no carb. Finishes lightly tannic.

UPDATED: AUG 5, 2018 Thnx to SINH4. Any dude that randomly keeps giving me ice cider, is a hero in my books. Current hero count : 1. Awesome guy right there! Pours clear amber colored. Smell is weaker Than most other ice ciders. Still, all the aspects shine trough. Taste is sweet, thick, applesauce, no boozyness at all. Extremely silky, lovely ice cider. Very sweet backbone, since it's not lifted up by the more common encountered boozyness.
