Draft at La Cidrerie, Paris. Clear light golden with light bubbles. Dry apple, jight pear, tangerine, white grape, light woody, soft tart apple. Quite fruity and dry, not too much apple but more fruity in a wine way. Light sweet and tart, very light bitter. Medium bodied and medium dry. Good.

On tap at La Cidrerie, pours a clear golden with a tiny, quickly-dissipating head. Nose is fairly neutral, with a touch of funk and light musty apples. Flavour is a little more expressive, with dry musty apples, gentle champagne-like funk, and some earthiness. Finished fairly dry and bland. Pretty muted and lacking the depth of many superior French ciders. Drinkable but unremarkable.

Bag in Box at George Croydon. It pours clear gold - amber with no head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, earthy funk, spice, apple pie, must and gooseberry crumble. The taste is pretty sweet actually, stewed apple, toffee, tart tatin, apple juice from concentrate and caramelised sugars. The finish is eventually dry and earthy. Medium body, still and oily mouth - feel. The aroma is promising, but the taste is ultimately a bit sweet and cloying.
