(750ml 2016 bottle from Etre) Pours clear deep gold with a small rapidly fizzing white head. Notes of lightly sweet baking apple, tart apple skins, lots of oak, touches of brandy warmth, vanilla, hints of bright candied citrus peel, musty funk, light floral notes. The lightly to moderately sweet core finishes off-dry with slight minerality, oaky richness and lots of lingering apple and Calvados. Medium bodied with nice effervescence. A very elegant cider, perhaps not as dry as I was expecting but it doesn't really limit its drinkability.

Un très grand merci à Vincent pour m'avoir offert cette bouteille. Cela faisait un bout de temps que je ne m'étais pas essayé au cidre, et cette bouteille était parfaite pour moi. J'ai toujours eu un faible pour les cidres fermiers qui ont ces accents terroirs. Ceux-ci s'accompagnent il est vrai souvent d'une astringence marquée qui ne plaisent pas à tous. J'étais donc, le temps d'une dégustation au plein cœur du bocage normand. Mais quand vous boostez quelque peu ce type de cidre pour lui faire atteindre 11 ° vous obtenez en plus un cidre racé aux accents de pommeau. L'ensemble est merveilleusement servi par un excellent équilibre, l'alcool est parfaitement intégré sans que le cidre soit trop sucré, et à la fois une petite acidité et une petite amertume sont présent pour donner un peu de fraîcheur. La corpulence est moyenne mais la longueur est quant à elle très honorable. En ce qui concerne le visuel, le blond orangé très légèrement voilé, est tout à fait sympathique pour un cidre. Très beau cidre

28-02-19 // taster at Muted Horn Berlin Clear glowing golden. Good classic cider. Intense apple. A bit too sweet for me, but its not really sweet at all, I just prefer it a bit drier.

Tap @ Pigalle, Sangenjaya. Nice golden pour, relatively flat. Nose has some beautiful funk and farmhouse character going on. Some tart acidity but that's pretty light. Drinks smooth, good tangy apple cider, drinks easy and yes, this funky addition really defines this cider. Super drinkable, fulfilling and beautiful.

29 December 2019. At Dok Brewing Company. Shared with Anke! Pours clear yellow with a thinning, white head. Aroma of yellow & green apple, lemon zest, wheat, white grape, straw, faint urinal. Taste is light fruity sweet, apple & grape, quickly turning medium wheaty sour, funky, lemony, note of straw; medium fruity bitterness builds up, bitter grape mixed with apple peel, wood & oak, hay. Dry, tart finish, somewhat woody, lingering lemon peel, apple, mouth-puckering almost, some warming white wine alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Not really my style, I'd say it's an acquired taste as well.
