Light golden color. Slight sweet nose with apple skins, earthy start with tons of apple skins and big tannins. Tight carbonation, lots of yeast. Super fun. Slight sweet. So well balanced. Excellent

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.

(Kiev 2016). 375 ml. bottle. 2012 Vintage. Shared by 4. Loud pop upon opening. Pours an insanely lively sparkling golden, more lively than Champagne, huge white head that instantly fizzes way, lemon golden, crazily lively brew. Nose is very raw barnyard & funk, brett, fermenting apples, mineral apples, raw apple skin funk, brett, wowza didn’t see this much funk coming from a cider. Taste is raw barnyard funk, insanely lively beer, apple skins, fermenting apples, rotting lemon, brett, hay, barnyard. So much carbonation & so much funk. Very unusual for me at first & quite challenging. Almost admired it more than I liked but it grew on me and I started appreciating a bit. Dry beyond the massive carbonation. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cidre Bouché Fermier on 03 Jun 2016 at 00:49 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9. Original review text: (Kiev 2016). 750 ml. bottle. 2013 Vintage shared by 4. Hazy citrus golden, extremely sparkling & lovely. Nose is also intense dank fermenting apple, near mineral, barnyard, low brett, faint prune but the funk is touch less here than with the “Etienne Dupont Cidre Bouché” I tried prior to this one & you get some light dry faintly sweet apple that adds a pleasant touch, preferred this a bit more over the higher rating & more wild and rustic “Etienne Dupont Cidre Bouché”. This one is a bit more approachable for a newbie like me I suppose. Taste is milder but still strong fermenting apple & apple skin funk, massively funk, low brett, almost mineral, apples, floral. Intense, took some getting used to admirable.
