330ml bottle from the Oak Barrel, Sydney. Slightly hazy orangey gold colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of apple, farmyard funky. Taste is apple, tangy, orchardy, leathery, some mucky funk and drying earthy tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry funky tannic finish. Quite drinkable.

2019 bottle. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is classic most, earthy, red apples, a bit mealy. Taste is mealy ripe apples, mild barn, some tannins too, pretty full-bodied. Foamy carbonation. Really tasty, interesting süßmost character despite not being sweet.

Bottled. A hazy golden cider with a fast disappearing beige head. The aroma has notes of apples, and lemons. The flavor is acidic with notes of apples, leading to a tart finish.

Bottle from Astor. Duvel tulip. Big, spirited head & crash. Creamy orange amber body. Letting it air out a bit. Farmhouse turns to a more pleasant bitterness like qince. Twiggy, grape skin, dust. Taste is moisture-sapping, stone-y, bitter, light bubblegum on the second yeasty pour. Super frothy. Old fruit. Really great.

Bottle from a local wine shop. $10 a 350ml. Came into the NYC market last year some time. Always up for more Cyril Zangs. Very cute superman-esque drawn label. Pint glass pour. Clear, dark golden honey brew. Lingering ring of lace. Smells of macerated bittersweet apples, bitter dry herbs, pepper, light inviting funk. Light acetone as it warms. Why are you stalling? Tart & quite minerally. Macerated sweet apple flavor. Dry grass. Moderate background acidity, but more-so super pithy & drying. Barely an essence of funk. Residual yeast of course. Very crispy natural carbonation. Really surprised by how unusually tart & refreshing this French cider is, combined with the classy farmy browned flavors. Big sulfite headache, but power through. Want more of this in a more affordable 750ml.

750ml bottle from Pilango online. Orange golden colour, large fizzy white foamy head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of apple, woody. Taste is tangy, apple, some apple skin & core, hints of caramel, bittersweet, woody with drying tannins. Light to medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
