Bottle from EkoPlaza shared at home. Pale golden with no real head. Dry apples, old oak, old rubberbands, massive tannins. Mild sweet and bitter, very dry. Medium body and low in carbonation. €6 for a Normandy Bio cider picked up around the corner, not bad.

Bottle, 75cl corked. A lightly hazy golden colored cider with some off-white bubbles. Rather funky aroma with horseblanket, stable, lemon hints, apple and gress. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely carbonated. Funky flavor with grass, horseblanket, stable and some lemon. Apple too of course. Long finish. A bit too much on the funky side this one. 191231
