In Normandy, France, cider has been made on the farm for over a thousand years. Apples were carried from orchard to barn by cart, drawn by a big, grey horse—a percheron. The apples were milled and pressed into juice through straw—driven by that same horse—then fermented with wild yeast in used wine barrels. The resulting farm cider, or cidre fermier, was rustic and complex, with notes of both the farm and barrel.

Percheron Cidre Fermier is dedicated to the big, beautiful horse of Normandy. Like its French cousin, it bares the unmistakable scent of the farm, a strong body, and a gentle finish.

Nice crisp apple notes, hints of the oak aging and yeast. Nicely flavored and not a sugar bomb. Me gusta.

Draught@CBC2016. Yellow colour with no head. Aroa is green apples, some mild yeasty and slight white wine like notes. Flavour is green apple skins, some wood, mild tartness and ends quite tart and dry.

Sampled on draft at Hou Thou this beer poured a hazy moonstone color with a trace soapy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was leather, earthy, musty and pear. The flavor was sourish pear with leather, must, earth and was in general off and odd. Long leathery and earthy finish. Medium body. Not good.
