Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Medium-strong aroma. Sulphur notes and earthy apples with a syrupy essence.
Initial Taste: Light bite. Quickly smooth with sweet, caramelized apple flavours. Crisp with minimal sour/tart/bitter notes.
After Taste: Remains sweet with some syrupy notes. Smooth and easy throughout. Calvados aging comes though at the completion of the flavour journey.
On ice: Carbonation removed almost completely, somewhat more metallic.
Additional Notes: A rustic Normandy cider, the Cidre le Coutard is smoother than many other Normandy-styles we have tried. It’s lighter, not as thick but still very smooth and within the Normandy classification. Aged in Calvados barrels, it only picks up mild hints and means it’s easy to consume.
