A Normandy France cidre imported by Winesellers, Ltd. Smells of funky ripe yeasty French apple juice. Very frothy.
Notes of ripe cooked bittersweet apples and pomace, residual yeast, orange, butterscotch, and earth/smoke. I loved how the ripe apple yeasty funky characteristics of Norman cider were expressed without any sourness. I liked that this was more rich than fruity. It would make a great introduction to Normandy cider. The funk in this cider was primarily in the scent, and subsided a bit over time.
