Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Beautiful clear deep berry red, looks nice. Sweet and sour apples, again light sour berries, dry oak, leathery tannins, hibiscus, rose. Over medium sweet and almost medium sour. Medium bodied, medium dry. Maybe a bit too sour, but otherwise very nice.

Bottle at La Cidrerie, pours a clear ros� (!) colour with a tiny ring of head. Nose is quite dry, smelling like a ros� red wine, with tannins, wood, and light apple skins. Flavour is very sweet, with lots of tannins, intense sweetness that creeps in at the back, and moderate acidity. Hmm, this is interesting - the sweetness is too much for me, and the acidity is a bit high. I wish there was more funk, but unfortunately, it's just a lot of apple core, tartness and sweetness. Unique but not great.

75cl bottle bought from (I think) Ecomusee, drunk at home. Pours clear pink, aroma of lightly sweet rosé cider. Taste is sweet, tart, sugary with a fine spritz. A little too sweet for me.

750ml bottle from Newby Hall, with wired cork giving an impressive pop on opening. Pale orange-gold colour, fizzy white foam head that dissipates away and juicy apple aroma. Taste is fruity apple, sweetish, mellow, with caramel and funky notes. Light bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

330ml bottle from Ecomusee, consumed on Etretat Beach. Pours vivid, clear pink. Aroma of floral, sweet rose. Taste is super sweet, super sugary with some floral, berry notes. Almost undrinkably sweet. Couldn't manage more than a couple of sips.

Sampled from bottle @ Hey Julien is back and Dean’s floor is moist tasting. Clear amber color, no head. Smell and taste are both quite sweet, apple, dry apple finish, dried apple flavors. Solid ice cider.

Bottle at THT. Clear amber with no head. Sweet dry apple notes, very light funk, lots of apple peel, bitter herbs, lots of dry fruity apple notes, With some strange balanced sweetness that still leaves a soft bitterness and sour touch. Full bodied. Love it.
