2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Smells like apples, tastes very refreshing and goes down quick thanks to a 2% alcohol content. Looks like a repackaged low-end cider, found at a supermarket in Paris. Not so bad for the price and good for a hot day.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle from Epicerie, 82 rue Lamarck, Paris; screwtop
Deep blond color, big bubbles, fizzy, no head retention. Light fruity aroma (apples and lemon). Semi-sweet, light apple juice flavor, very light late acidity. Pleasant drink, but not an interesting cider.

Bottle probably found in Cannes yeah. A big thick white head that vanished immediately leaving a yellow body. Very dusty apple nose. Sugary , too sugary sweet appley doux, oh so ordinary. Presented as generic and generic it is. For French standards of course.

11/10 A 0.75 l bottle found at the Carrefour in Cannes I believe. Not corked, but screw capped like some cheap wine. Golden bodied with typical short living head. Fresh apples in aroma and some cork, although there wasn’t one on the bottle I assume it’s from real wooden barrels. Sweet flavor, quite full bodied for only 2% ABV, simple with just smashed sweet apples, but pleasant. Longer sweetish finish that isn’t sour at all. Expected something bad as of the bottle look, but turned out to be a good Doux.
