May 2018: 330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6%. Clear deep golden colour, pours sparkling with a shortlived white head. Pleasant aroma of cider apples and oak. Dry flavour, cider apples and oak again, "dusty" finish. *Sampled again Oct. 2023, 750 ml corked & caged green bottle, as Aval Cidre Artisanal, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 6%. Even more "farmhouse" character this time, very good cider.

Single can. Lo-ball back at the hotel. Clear, medium gold, soda sizzle. Cheesy, mellow barnyard, wormy apple. Earthy, bittersweet apple, vanilla, browned sweetness, dried pineapple sulfites, slight barnyard, white wine, cheese, mild carbonation. All the funk minus any flavors to build on. Pass.

11.2 oz. can from the brewer's rep. If memory serves, the pour is a little darker than the previous Aval: a bit more amber to it. The usual fizz that goes away immediately. Smell has a bit of green apple tartness. Taste is similarly more tart. Not extra sour, but balanced by sweet apple juice. Not easy to just swig down. Invites contemplation.

Funky apple juice. Little dry. Third and final French cider. Pic: Eric Cantona with a kung-fu kick on a Crystal Palace supporter.

On tap at Capitol Cider, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out barnyard funk, crisp apple skins, champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is fairly dry, with champagne-like effervescence, gentle funk, crisp apple skins, and a touch of residual sweetness. Not the most complex or funk French cider but it's pretty solid.
