Ciderie Familiale Kerné Doux (2.5% ABV, 750ml). Pours a slightly hazy yellowish amber. Extremely fruity aroma of ripe apples, some barnyard funk, a bit of yeast, and honey. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Sugary, ripe red apples at first, some yeast, honey, , balanced by some farmhouse funk, some vinegar, and tannins. In the finish, the tannins increase slightly, so it's a bit more dry, but the apple-y sweetness, a bit of funk, and lingering honey return for the aftertaste.
Another winner from the Kerné range, this low-alcohol sweet cider is notably less "clean" than their "Délice de Cidre" party-time version, and all the better for it. Excellent. 9/10.
