Sample from trade with Sjogro, cheers Sjoerd! Golden colour with a thin white foam head that quickly dissipates away. Aroma of fleshy apple, some caramel. Taste is sweetish fruity apple, fleshy with woody funk, vanilla & caramel hints, and barrel notes. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry fruity woody finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle from the source, shared first at home then at Maakun’s. Clear golden with some greyish bubbles. Sweet musty earthy and fruity apple juice, some very light almond spice and lemon rind. Quite dry, old oaky and musty. Under medium body and soft carbonation. A bit thin but nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cidre Bouché on 25 Sep 2019 at 14:14 - Score: 7.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Clear golden with small ring of bubbles. Earthy apple notes, leather, soft funk, dry apple peel, mineral, light farm animal notes, tannins, wood. Under medium sweet, light tart and bitter. Almost medium bodied with slight watery feel. Nice.

75cl bottle from the producer. Pours clear gold, thin white head. Strong vibrant thorny apple fruit aroma. Taste is distinct apple fruit with a soft tannic presence. Vibrant medium sweet character. Very good Doux.

75cl bottle from the producer. Well, despite my comments last time it appears I am drinking this again. And the perfumed element appears to have subsided somewhat. Good balanced brut, nothing too exciting, no real complexity, but has a decent fruitiness. Drying close. Table cider. 75cl bottle. Pours a misty gold, small white head. Floral apple fruit aroma. Taste is generally clean with a fleeting fuzzy texture.. distinct perfumed notes aligned with a moderately sweet character. It’s decent, but the perfumed element is a bit off-putting for me to try again.

75cl bottle from madeincalvados.com. Pours clear golden yellow. Aroma presents prominent medium-sweet perry pear fruit. Spritzy on the palate with smooth, lightly sticky, sweet perry fruit with hints of honey. Clean drinking with a slowly drying finish. Decent.

Cloudy dark blond color, small head with large bubbles. Intense aroma; apples, apple skins, wood. Mild residual sweetness, with a nice apple juice flavor, and a strong apple skin character, with strong tannic finish.
Maybe because I’ve been missing French ciders, but I find this to be excellent.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy opaque golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite funky, with barnyard funk, dusty bone dry apples, and champagne mustiness. Flavour is very funky and dry upfront, with tons of barnyard funk and champagne must upfront, ending on a lovely sweetness that blends beautifully with the funk. Just an excellent example of a session cider with tons of character. Excellent.

Bottle - Light funk and some apple. Clearish with a frothy white head. Bright and effervescent with some great apple and a touch of funk. Slight sweetness on the finish. Really nice.
