Orange colour, plenty of fluffy head that sticks around longer than usual for a cider. Aroma is sour apples and some wood. Taste is soft apples with a murky very sweet apple finish. Very sweet in fact, I guess that’s where the "intense" part comes in.

Bottle. Dark orange body, small head. Sweet, slightly vinous apple aroma. Rich but a bit plain taste of apples, some mushrooms in there too. Finish is juicy, not dry.

Corked bottle, from Galeries Lafayette, Paris
Light amber color, with just a shade of red. Sweet aroma of apples and caramel, cheap.There is still some sweetness, some apple juice flavor, and a final acidity that doesn’t complement the sweetness, instead it disturbs; traces of wood; the final is quite acidic and citrusy. It’s like an apple juice, medium sweet, with a generous splash of lemon. Unbalanced.
