Bottle. Thanks Tomo V! Shared with him and Hrabren like the others. Pale, very pale golden-yellow body. Flowery aroma, hibiscus, pears and tea, very pleasant! Flowery, lean taste, juicy, sugar, light tartness, Champagne-style carbonation in the finish. Impressive at first sip, it, however grows tiring, lowering the score/feeling, still, a very nice, tasty perry.

Manoir d'Apreval Côte de Grâce Brut 2018. Thanks Tomo V! Darker yellow-golden body. A bit thin but growing cellar-like but fresh aroma, fermented apples, some wood perhaps, hay. Sweetish apple taste, light wood, barrel, silky dry body, some light residual sugars, quite drinkable. Very interesting really! Allegedly put in Calvados barrels for a time, but unsure, certainly a different profile than normal.

75cl bottle (2016) from the producer. Pours clear gold, thin white ring. Aroma has some farmyard funk. Spritzy on the palate, fairly drying with an elegant fruit presence. Could do with a touch more fruit, but for a spritzy cidre it's still pretty good. --- Beer merged from original tick of L'Incontournable - Cidre De La Côte De Grâce Brut on 23 Nov 2024 at 08:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: 75cl bottle, picked up at the producer. Pours a clear deep gold, moderate effervescence. Frosty orchard aroma. Quite a crisp start with crunchy apple skins and core, but exceptionally dry with shiny apple inflections. Misses the luscious fruitiness of their other bruts, but generally decent.

75cl bottle from the producer. Pours a generally clear pale greenish yellow, fizzy with a snowstorm of sediment that refuses to settle. Light perry pear fruit on the nose. Taste is clean, light with a nice soft sweet fruitiness. It is a touch farmyardy, but generally focusses on a bright, refined perry fruit, very lightly slick, clean with a decent fruit presence.

330ml bottle from the producer. Pours a hazy, slightly murky golden amber. Aroma is bright, fruity, some discernible Cascade influence. Taste is similarly bright, well carbonated with a good hoppy Cascade presence. Cant make up my mind whether this jars a little against the apple fruit or not. Perhaps, but it makes for an interesting, colourfully fruity cider all the same.

75cl bottle from madeincalvados.com. Pours misty gold, thin white head. Aroma is sour and funky with some apple skin, light fruit. Taste is fresh, raw apple fruit, soft tannins with apple skin and light core. More character than standard French cidre.
