Basse-Normandie, Calvados Region. IGP sign on front label. No czuc tu jabłecznik, szarlotke, pieczone jabłka. W smaku jabłkowo rodzynkowo agrestowe, wyraziste, wytrawne lekko kwaskowe, lekko funkowe, złociste musujące z old-schoolowa etykieta farmerska i do tego trwala piana.

Bottle @ZZTX. Pale blonde. Apple and soft yeasty aroma. Lemon and appelmoes in the flavor. Sweet, but drinkable.

Sample thanks to sjogro. Clear golden with some actual head. Sweet apple, pear, light spices and soft funk. Quite juicy but soft earthy notes and dead leaves too. Almost medium sweet. Under medium bodied with over light dry finish. Not super brut, nice cider.

Bottle shared at home. Slightly unclear golden with some thin white head. Moderate sweet and very dry apple peel aromas. Light applesauce. Some old rubberbands in the taste that are putting me off, dry nutshells. Moderate sweet and bitter. Light body, lot of carbonation, watery, dry finish with some slightly unpleasant notes. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Cidre Artisanal de Normandie Brut on 19 Sep 2018 at 21:13 - Score: 6.

Clear golden color with a bubbly head that soon vanish. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Balanced sweetness and a mild acidity. Mostly apples in the flavor.
