Bottle from Ale Jail I believe, old rating form notes. Sweet with apple, noticeable earthy barnyard yeast and prickly carbonation. Enjoyable.

Big bottle shared with family for a celebratory toast. Dark cider. Nose is fleshy apples, sweet sugars, funky barnyard. Tastes of red apples, cheese funk, barnyard stables, brown sugar. Rust. Funky finish and rather tart. Finished sweet

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Clear deep golden with bigger bubbles. Sweet apple, caramel, soft butter, spicy apple peel, dry cellar funk, woody, dry leathery notes. Almost medium sweet, light bitter and tart. Medium bodied with fizzy carbonation. Complex and tasty, but stinky on the nose but overall a nice cider! 👍🏻

Sampled at the source, 3rd taster, tasted from a bottle pour by the host. Golden juice, bubbles. Sweet and dry apples, more traditional farm funk than the reserve. Moderate sweet and bitter. Lively fizz. Pretty nice. // Shared from bottle at Maakun’s. Sweet apples, red and yellow, cheesy and oniony, very fruity, mild earthy and nutty and greasy. Medium body and soft carbonation.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of horse blanket upfront, with a lot of funk, and some sweet apples. Flavour is wonderfully deep, with loads of barnyard funk, sweet apples, and horse blanket. Has an intense classic French farmhouse funk that somehow manages to be both bone dry and quite sweet. Lovely.

Bottle. Clear orange, almost rosé color with white head. Aroma is red apples, vanilla, barnyard, quite rustic. Taste is red apples, vanilla, rustic barn. Silky mouthfeel with sparkly carbonation. Good for a sweet cider!

75cl bottle (2016) from the producer. Pours clear gold, pleasant fresh apple juice on the nose. Spritzy palate with a full-flavoured medium apple fruit character, and a soft farmhouse influence. Well-rounded, fruity and flavoursome with a lovely sweetness from the distinctive regional Pays d'Auge apples used. Good Normandy cider.

Bottled. Hazy golden, coarse head. Lambic and red berries up front. Blue cheese, sugar and rubbery smoke. Fruity and salty with light body. Interesting and richly flavourful but with some weird edges.

2005 bottle. Sent in a photo to upload. No, this bottle was not agitated, i have let it sit for a while, and it did not travel. Started off as a gusher, cork popped as soon as I started to undo the metal ties. Gushed for about a minute. Opaque fizzy yellow appearance. Slight barnyard funk to the aroma, but not as bad as some others. There is also some plastic and then the apples and maybe some eau poire. Very very very very fizzy. First sip nearly went up my nose with all the bubbles. I couldn’t taste anything at first, just trying to overcome the carbonation. It is inexcusable. Much fizzier than a sod, have problems getting it down, let alone anaylzing the flavor. From what little I could get it is sweet with some woody elements. Hard to drink as each sip = 1 burp. Let my glass sit for a while, and bubbles were still rising vigorusly 30 minutes later. Something is wrong with this one.
