On tap at Bottlecraft - Little Italy, pours a clear rosé with a small white head. Aroma is full of rosé wine, crisp apple skins, and some red apple core. Flavour is fairly dry, with lots of red apple core, red apple skins, and light rosé wine notes. Nice apple character, sufficiently dry; not terribly complex but well-constructed.

On tap at Beer Run - Chelsea, pours a clear pale golden with a tiny white head. Aroma has semi-sweet green apple skins and gentle farmhouse notes. Flavour is very sweet, especially for a French cider, with sweet apple juice and almost no hint of farmhouse notes. Light spritzy finish, with an apple juice concentrate character I can�t shake. Not great.

I’m not convinced this entry is the same cider as the 5% abv Aval Blanc, but I guess we’re assuming it is right now. Pours clear light gold. Light fresh apple aroma. The flavor is lightly sweet, on the dry side for ciders, clean, a bit floral, and very well balanced. This is a good cider. Edit: yeah, I found an article from Brewbound announcing the launch of Aval’s newest cider, Blanc. It’s from 2023.
