Oct 27, 2006 Bottle shared by Blake. Orange body under a small white head - lots of bubbles. Dry board aroma with apple juice on top. Dry green apple flavor with an oaky twang around the edges. Smooth mouthfeel with gentle carbonation. Decent stuff.

Oct 27, 2006 pour is apple juice in color w/ a small white thick head that sustains fairly well w/ rampant carbonation. definate notes of apple juice, sugars, oak, some light honey and an earthy smell. odd very carbonated lightly pinching tongue feel w/ a nice little coating. Flavor is defiantly lots of semi sweet apple juice some very dry wood notes some really light tart notes in the finish. Quite nice.

Jan 10, 2005 2002 bottle. Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is clear light amber. Aroma is notes of apple, oak, moss, grass, flowers, hints of oregano and honey. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery/velvety texture, fizzy carbonation, lightly astringent. More carbonation, slightly drier, and more balanced and restrained in the aroma(and revealing more terroir) than the Brut Tendre, this is about as close to true (French) Champagne as I’ve had in the cider world (minus the ubiquitous bread dough note and the alcohol level common to Champagne). Perfect flavor balance, subtle complex aromas, and exceptionally clean...not a knock-you-over cider like Dupont makes, but easily the most elegant cider I’ve had to date. Absolutely outstanding, but if you don’t like wine or Champagne you will likely not appreciate this all too much.

Aug 31, 2004 The Cider pours a golden color with good carbonation. The aroma is mild and slightly grassy/earthy (?). The flavor tastes like apples and that slightly grassy/earthy thing I identified in the aroma. In addition, I detect some sort of spice or something. The palate is very fizzy. This is my first Cider rate and I have no idea what to look for. Overall, I can drink this!

Mar 14, 2004 A nice clear cider with bazillions of little bubbles. a pale caidery aroma that dips into a fizzy mouthfeel. the taste fades quickly, but it's still pretty good.

Jan 20, 2003 Probably one of the driest Normandy ciders I've tried. Very bubbly, rather crisp flavor. No harsh alcohol taste or offensive flavor. Actually tastes better at a temp slightly below room temp (50-60F). Too cold made it taste more bitter.
