Aval Cidre Artisanal

Wonderful cider to drink after a warm sunny day hiking around the seaside of Bretagne. I got this one straight from the tap in a 0.5 ltr glass and boy was it Welcome and Good.

Mild flavor, a bit of funk.

What I love most about this cider is how clean it is. No sugar added is important to me, and it tastes crisp, flavorsome and refreshing. I love all three of their varieties. The blanc and the rosé are also super drinkable!

Dry, funky, different. Good with pizza.

Available in 750ml bottles and four packs. Between semi-sweet and semi-dry. Notes of bittersweet apple juice and pomace, yeast, brown sugar, orange, and must. I liked it. However, it tasted flat, like it had been left sitting open (vs. supposed to be still), but the cork was intact. I also thought it could have used less bitter of a finish. Similar to Loic Raison 1923 Brut. Update: I gave it another try and this time it was definitely carbonated, but seemed even more bitter and yeasty. I prefer Celt, but this is plenty drinkable.

The aroma of the cider reminds me more of a sidra than a cidre. Very clean flavor, very fruity with sourness and funk pervasive in every sip. So unusual. Really seems like a Spanish version of a French cidre!
