330mL bottle at La Cidrerie, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out gentle funk upfront, with gentle mustiness, and crisp apple skins. Flavour is sharp, with lots of champagne-like character, low sweetness, and crisp pear skins. Aggressive carbonation that is very fitting. Not the most complex perry, but it's certainly pleasant.

75cl bottle from a French stall @ Shrewsbury Food Festival June 2016. Pours clear, pale yellow, no head. Aroma is sweet perry pears. Taste has a very light, fine spritz with a cool, lightly sweet French perry character and some floral elderflower notes. A tight dryness on the finish. Nice.

75cl bottle from a French stall at Shrewsbury Food Festival June 2016. Pours hazy gold with lively, slowly diminishing white bubbles. Aroma is breezy sweet cider apple. Taste is much of the same, highly spritzy, with a typically light Normandy cidre character with no real edge or tannins. Table cidre I guess.
