Bottle from SB. Clear golden with very brief white head. Nice, subtle bubbles. Aroma of barnyard, gunpowder, touch of sulphur and vanilla. Fruity apple taste with vanilla. Quite elegant so. No farts in the taste at all. Lingering apple skin. Nice!

Bottle shared. Almost clear deep golden with some lasting ring of bubbles. Quite some tannins, dry apple, soft juicy sweetness, dry pear skin, soft funk. Medium sweet and almost medium bitter. Medium bodied, solid medium dry. Quite some tannins and bitterness but nicely balanced and not too dry. I quite like this.

Bottle, 2018-02 on cork. Color: Clear golden, white head. A lot of tiny carbonation bubbles. Aroma: Apple, appleskin, funk. Taste: Sweetish, over moderate sweet and very slightly tart ripe apples, some apple skin. Dry-ish mouthfeel, quite a lot of tannins. Some wood, some barnyard funk. Quite bitter, very dry finish, like chewing on the appleskin. Medium body, just under average carbonation. Ok.

75cl bottle from a new deli in Steenvoorde as ’Cidre Contentin Biologique Brut’. Pours a misty gold, aroma of very light cider apple fruit. Taste is fairly thin, lacking a vibrant fruitiness over bitter skin and cores. Thin, weak and not great at all.
