Bottle. Slight hazy with lasting small white head. Crisp green apple, lots of barnyard funk, apricot, dry wood, grapefruit. Very fruity and crisp, but also solid tannins. Under medium sweet, light sour. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation and over medium dry. Lovely!

On tap at La Cidrerie du Canal, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of champagne-like effervescence, musty funky apple skins, and smokiness from the Islay. Flavour wonderfully integrates the Islay and the funk, with plenty of peat, funky horse blanket, and bone dry apple skins. Carbonation is the usual champagne-like. Excellent experimental cider.

On tap at La Cidrerie du Canal, pours a clear golden with a small white bubbly head. Aroma seems dry, with champagne-like effervescence and dry apple skins. Flavour is bone dry, with champagne-like effervescence, plenty of funk, and musty apple skins. Real nice funk and carbonation to express the dryness. Excellent.

Bottle. Slightly cloudy golden body with a small white head. Aroma is green apple, tart apple, some wood and cellar notes with a faint funky hint. Flavor is refreshing apple's, both sweet and acidic, mild cellar note, some wood and hint of funk. Very nice and food friendly, god balanced, especially considering only 4,8% ABV. Higly enjoable.

Bottle. Clear deep golden. Crisp apple, very mineral, dry woody notes, apple pie, dried flowers. Light fruity, quite present tannins but it's not heavy or thick, it's more on the crisp and bright side. Light sweet. Solid medium bodied. Quite good.
