75cl bottle from the producer. Appealing bouché tone but fruitiness seems to be kept at bay.. by what? Not sure. Romilly are usually top tier, this isnt

Bottle at NC Cider Fest. Pale plum, clear, spirited. Faintly floral, murky bittersweets, hibiscus. Tate is semi-sweet, a bit too sweet. Floral, low acid, mellow tartness, medium carb, approachable, a bit too sugary. Okay.

Bottle from Covenhoven. NB goblet @ home. 4.9%. Classic pale amber, maybe a bit hazed. Good head, no bottle bomb. Smells of dry apples, minerals & rotting/wet leaves. Tight bubbles; parching. Concentrated & juicy bittersweet flavor. Initially, it was somewhat like wet soil &/or mold, but a good chunk of that disapates, ...but not all of it. Less funk then the Demi-sec. Bit of salt, noticable acid, faint tartness, wood, oxidation, plastic. Lighter, thinner, better texture, but the Demi-sec tastes better. This one takes a long while to air out.

Bottle from Covenhoven. NB goblet @ home. Imported. 4.9% abv. Bottle bomb. Clear, brown more than amber. Smells of macerated/browned apples, hay, faded cinnamon. Lux, creamy bubbles. Melted browned apples, core, herbs, oxidized cider, wood, faint lemon, general barn foulness. Sweeter than what you might normally want. A very solid French cider at less than $10/bottle.

$14 bottle from this little wine shop along Atlantic Ave. Foamy, quickly settling, active, clear, golden brew. Smell is of wet leaves and moderate barnyard. Waiting a bit till it airs out leads to some soggy, macerated notes. Taste is familiar, yet different. Half tart, half sweet apples, turning chalky dry halfway through the sip. Leafy greens & a bite of dirty farm funk. Faint vanilla at the end. Thin with a beady carbonation. Noticable sulfites. Decent.
