A hazed blonde cider with loads of sparkling bubbles, effervescent. In aroma, sweet apple jam with loads of Brett, ground cherry, light lactic notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice tart mix of ground cherry, apples, light Brett, light lactic notes, very nice and complex. Served in traditional Breton cup at Poincaré.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Drank from the can so it looked like a can... Aroma and taste of nice slightly dusty green apple, prominent mulch and wet hay funk, smooth yeasty character, dry overall with a hint of residual sugar only, lightly tart and lactic edge as well. Light body, nice effervescent carbonation. Really good funky cider from a can even if it's not super complex.

473mL can at Lola Rosa Place-des-Arts, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Nose is bone dry, with champagne-like effervescence and crisp apple skins. Flavour is crisp and bone dry, with lots of carbonation and bone dry apple skins. There's not a lot of depth but the dryness and high carbonation are quite pleasing. Solid.

(750ml bottle from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours moderately hazy pale yellow with a small white head and no lace. Heavily acidic cider, lots of tart yellow apples and crabapples with a fair whack of cider vinegar and a squeeze of lemony lactic acid, quite yeasty but a mix of funky barnyard nose and more leathery and even saison-like elements in the mouth. Remains bracingly acidic through the sip despite some prominent chewy tannins from the crabapple maceration drying out the finish. Light body, fairly soft but spritzy carbonation. Enjoyable complexity of flavours but too acidic for me on balance.

(750ml bottle from L'Axe du Malt) Pours slightly pink-tinged medium orange with a bit of a gush and a loose white head that fades rapidly. Aroma is a nice juicy but tannic eating apple juice vibe, tart but with light residual sugar, squeeze of bright 'grape juice' red grapes but a bit of skin tannin too, moderate hay and wet wood funk. Flavour is light sweet and moderate tart, floral fruity apples, a bit of a muscat bleu grape character but only light residual sweetness, a touch vinous, good apple and lactic acidity, maybe a touch of acetic, moderate funk, drying but puckering finish with some minerality and grape/apple aftertaste. Medium-bodied, oily to slick, but with filling carbonation. Really nice wild macerated cider, though I'd have actually taken more grape.

(750ml 2019 vintage bottle from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours clear intense deep gold with a small but reviving loose white head and no lace. Aroma of semi-sweet red and gold apples, nice almost caramelized vibes to them, but with a tart edge, nice tannic structure, soft florals and a horseblanket overtone. Flavour is much drier than the nose might suggest, lightly tart and almost creamy apples, soft flowers, fine tannins, dusty attic funk, a little lactic action, fine tannin and funk in the aftertaste. Medium bodied with high but fine pet nat style carbonation that fills the mouth. The wild apple blend here doesn't necessarily have huge depth but it's nicely balanced dry wild cider for sure.

(750ml botttle from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours hazy yellow-gold with a small whitish head, at least in a plastic cup. Aroma is bright tart eating apples with a whack of lacto citrus acidty, Bretty barnyard funk, moderate barrels, some phenolic saison-type herbalness and neutral woody tones. Flavour is high acidity with tart apple and lactic citrus again leading, slightly high acid wine-like, moderate plus wet mulchy funk, some oak drydown, persistent sour apples into the finish and aftertaste, some funk in the finish too. Light to medium bodied with soft natural carb. Good with bread and cheese/charcuterie, a bit high-acid and unbalanced on its own.

(750ml bottle from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours very hazy straw gold with a decent sized white head; did my best high pour attempt to 'break' it in the traditional style but it was very highly carbed. Notes of bright acidic eating apples, touches of both lactic citrusy acidity and cider vinegar, lemon peels, quite a lot of funky yeast and wet hay, fresh white bread, finishing pretty dry with lingering fruity acidity and funk. Light to medium bodied with filling carbonation. Not exactly in the traditional sidra style but that's okay, it was certainly refreshing summer afternoon juice.
