Clear golden with little bubbles for head. Sweet and dry old apples, mossy mold and treebark, almond nutty tannins. Moderate sweet and bitter. Under medium body, dry and soft fizzy carbonation. Nice cider with a nice touch of barnyard and goat droppings. | [2019-08-31 19:15:11] - Locatie: SjogroWorld™ - Score: 3.8 - Comment: (2017) A narrow but densely loaded spectrum of caramelised fruit sugars, mustardy spices, earthy and woody notes. A shortlived complexity swirls up in the mouth with every sip swallowed, then calms into a sweet & pleasant balance of apples & rustic notes.

Bottle, courtesy of SinH4. Pours clear golden. Aroma is floral cider, blossoms. Body is light, softly fruity and rather sweet, a bit sticky indeed. Not the most balanced cider ever, also not with the best flavours.

2014 vintage bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish golden straw with 2 fingers of fine foam that lingers then dissipates. Aromas of hay, horseblanket, Brie rind, prosciutto, faint smoke, dried apple, umami, cobwebs. Fantastically complex. A symphony of aromas as it warms. Champagne-like carbonation on the palate. Dry and funky with a nice lingering farmy, dried apple character thoughout. Musty. Just stellar. --- Beer merged from original tick of Etienne Dupont Cidre Bouché Brut de Normandie on 30 Sep 2017 at 22:10 - Score: 9. Original review text: 2014 vintage.

330ml bottle as Cidre Bouché 2015 (5.5%). Much better than the original bottle I had which was perhaps a little old. Much better fruitiness shining through, though generally quite clean and accessible. Medium-sweet. Up-rated. 75cl bottle as ’Cidre Bouché 2014’ from madeincalvados.com. Pours clear gold with a persistent white ring head. Aroma is very faint French apple fruit. Taste is lightly oily and exceedingly dry, lacking a traditional farmhouse texture with very low fruitiness. Some mirage like tannic echoes. Not a good French cidre.

Sampled on draft at Monk’s Cafe this beer poured a dark golden color with a small foamy white head that left no lacing. The aroma was musty and bretty with a bit of apple flesh. The flavor was apple flesh, mustiness, a bit tart and earthy. Long musty apple flesh finish. Medium body. Ok.
