750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with no head. Aroma brings out lots of farmhouse funk and dry yeast. Flavour is very funky, with lots of barnyard funk, with light fart, some smoke and earthy yeast. Light sweetness that is subdued by the smoky farmhouse funk. Great stuff.

Hazy and light amber. No head. The aroma is appley, with some leathery notes. Dry, light-bodied, with a light spiciness, and a hint of apple notes. Good basic cider.

Bottle sample. Hazy golden yellow color, champagne bubbles, white edge head. Aroma of dusty apple and stone fruit. Taste is very fruity, tart, bold, tannic, long dry finish, soft carbonation. Really nice.

Corked bottle, from Le Repaire de Bacchus, 40 rue Damrémont, Paris; cork 08-04
Aggressive carbonation; it pours a cloudy blond color, without head, but with a nice perlage. The aroma shows soft tannins, and apple skins. It’s highly carbonated, possibly there has been an excess of fermentation in the bottle, and the body is as dry as for the Brut; mild apple flavor, but the tannins and astringency, even if soft, are more present than in the Brut. Good.

2017-08-23, mooch tasting at Matt's, corked bottle, L 15.5, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Cloudy blond color with no head retention. Nice aroma, apple skins, mature apples. Highly carbonated, there seem to be done residual sweetness, the mature apple flavor is there, apple pie, and strong apple skins astringency. Aggressive.
Very interesting.

Hazy golden color, no head. Mild aroma, fizzy, citrusy, lightly sour. The mouthfeel is quite dry, the apple is very subdued; at least there is a mild tannins presence. Just a bit above average.
