| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 7, 2009 Bottled 0.75 l (Alko). Pours slightly hazy golden-orange with virtually no head. Slightly rotten apples in the dry aroma. There’s also some strong, sweaty, matured cheese. Sweet apples, some raspberry and wood in the flavor. This isn’t that dry as you might imagine. Softly carbonated, a little sticky and a little watery on the palate.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 5, 2009 0.75l bottle shared with heavy, found in France Poured a slightly darker golden-orange-amber something. Nice. Slightly dusty gluey nose, finely sweet and appley. Nice. The taste is a bit light but not too much. Slightly gluey and appley again, with a damn nice appley slightly corky sourish finish. It’s not terribly complex but very pleasant and tasty. DeanF (298), Paris, France
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2009 A very warm, welcoming apple aroma, but has no complexity in it at all. Looks very appealing as well, but no real head to speak of. The flavour is not complex, but still excellent - lots of apple hints, from the skin to the stems, lots of different flavours in the same realm of flavours of apple. Great mouthfeel. A very drinkable cider and worth trying. FatPhil (3477), Espoo, Finland

Lovely mellow apple aroma - some light woodiness. Excellent mellow
oaky and vanilla-ey body, crisp and fruity, but the apples play second
fiddle to the soft woodiness. Wonderful quality, as always from
Ecusson, and I think this would be stunning if they chose to brew it
to English strengths. MiP (9093), Sønderborg, Denmark
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Bottle, 5%. The flavour is a bit sweet for a brut. OK real apple flavour with a little apple core note, but without the core bitterness. Some OK moldy notes as well. The finish is slightly salty/isotonic. Ungstrup (15259), Frederiksberg, Denmark
