Flasche in Frankreich gekauft. Orange-Gold leicht trüb kein Schaum. Aroma: gegorener Apfel, etwas Citrus, Bauernhof. Geschmack: moderate Süße, Heu, Apfel, gegorener Apfel, muffig im Abgang. Strahlt trotz etwas Säure eine Milde aus.

Webordered bottle from Joran shared at home. Dark near clear golden with no lasting head. Sweet old apples, applesauce, ham, Calvados. Very juicy, appley, saucey and perhaps a little Calvados infusion aside the woody barrel notes. Citrus fruity, light floral. Very lovely smooth and complex drink. A bit of dirty rainbarrel and a bit rusty but also a bit raisany in the sweetness. Very unique. Feels like it’s 10% abv or something. A slow sipper.

pours a bit unclear, darker blonde. Medium sized head fades instantly to a zero. Blasts of aroma fill the room with apple. Fairly refined and complex, and intense as far as cider goes ! a certain 'dry' character from the appleskins is to be expected by the scent. Taste is very full. Surprisingly sweet ( not overly sweet, just more than anticipated by the scent ) . Mild boozy taste (yet no heat ) due to the barrel, lifting the apple aroma up very nicely. very mild woody notes. Nice, medium carbonation. long finish, loads of apples. Very nice stuff !
