Damn good! Tart/crisp apples; fruit peel/earthy spice/yeast/light funk. Tart/dry/crisp carb. Light lingering acidity. Great complexity. --- Beer merged from original tick of Virtue Cidre Nouveau on 04 Sep 2016 at 17:37 - Score: 8. Original review text:

tap - This cider smells of tart apples. It tastes sweet up front with a dry, tart finish. It’s very bubbly and overall a fairly good, interesting cider.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy light yellow with a bubbly white head that dissipates immediately and completely. Aroma has a good amount of funk with some earthy apples and a hint of tartness. Flavor is similar but starts a bit thin and grows to have dry apple, a good amount of must and a touch of funkiness.

2013 Vintage bottle filled to the brim. Expensive for a young cider at $21 for a 750ml. Pours with a lightly hazy, pale golden hue with a fizzy white head that dies quickly. Aromas are slightly sulfuric with moderate funk notes, brett, barnyard a low chlorophenolics. Lemony acidity, manure and fresh cut grass. Despite some of those descriptors the overall impression is of a nice cider. Flavors are dry, bright, medium low acid with very low tannin for what I was expecting. Lots of strong apple character. Full carbonation, mild sulfur notes. Dry finish. Pretty good, but not too complex.

$10 Bottle from NBD. I hope their future releases are just as reasonable, because $20+ sidra clones just don’t cut it.

Sizzling tulip pour. Clear, vibrant, pale gold. Active.
Smells of pears, plastic, floral perfume, & alcohol. Just a touch of footy/sweaty funk that fades with time.
Acidy, floral, & incredibly dry. Flinty. Bitter core. Almost medicinal. Faintly yeasty. Residual mintyness.
Dry mouth & aggressive alcohol. Minerally. Thin. Bubbly.

Not my favorite type of stuff, but I appreciate the effort. Apples tasted a bit empty here. I still would rather drink real sparking.
