Bottle at home. It pours clear golden with just a few bubbles on top. The aroma is soft, sweet, juicy, tangy apple, apple pie, pie crust, earth and hay. The taste is dry, crisp, clean, sweet apple, apple tango, tangy, zingy sherbet note and dull hay with a dry, clean apple finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Not a huge amount to it, just clean and balanced. Drinks easy.

375 ml bottle, vintage 2016, from Etre Gourmet.
Amber, clear body, without head.
Aroma of concentrated red apple juice, fruit gum, honey, dried fruits, apple tartness.
Tastes quite similar, with a bit more tartness, but also more honey.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, without carbonation.
Finishes elegant, sweet, moderate tart, juicy, with crisp red apples, some honey.
Tasty. A really elegant and balanced example of the style, sweet and juicy, while not heavy at all, also because of a good amount of tartness. The apples are characterful, but very clean at the same time. Beautiful, dangerously quaffable stuff.
Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

Vom Fass (abv 7.5%) zum 2nd Anniversary im Muted Horn Berlin 2018-10 getrunken. Dieses für 6 Monate in Calvadosfässern gereifte Cidre ist nahezu perfekt. Das Apfelfruchtaroma, die Fruchtsäure und die Süsse befinden sich hier in perfekter Harmonie zueinander und das ohne das sie aufdringlich werden. Die unglaublich elegante Cidre ist einfach zum Zurücklehnen und Genießen. Traumstoff!

Sampled @ Borefts Pre-tasting. Clear almost watery color. No head. Sweet aroma. Light note of green apple peel. More dry flavor. Decent though. I like it. 7-3-7-3-15.
