RBESG08 grand tasting. Hazy yellow body. Light sweetish appley nose. Far less funky and simpler than the Brut, just sweet and appley, but that made it more likable for me. A solid , nice French cider that I would drink again.

RBESG08 grand tasting. Poured a little of both ciders and then forgot which is which. Brilliant. Still, I think I got them right in the end. Hazy yellow/gold body. A dry, funky, corky apple nose. The taste is funky as well, notes of glue and apples. Sweetish. Ok but not the way I like my ciders I guess.
