At a lovely little Tabac in Port Louis....

@Giles has there been a common flavor profile in these ciders? Also, do you have a preferred flavor profile? Thinking dryness/sweetness, effervescence, funkiness, etc. also curious about the gravity; guessing these have some body to them.

When I get off the water wagon in a couple of months I’m going to drink lots of cider.

I like them dry and sometimes funky, sometimes effervescent personally.

Not too fizzy and all pretty clean and dry. None of the regular restaurant ones are that strong (maybe 4.5%), but the one we bought from Tabac (and made out the back), packed a punch. Nothing too funky yet either....

Dammmmm…I’ll make a visit to Brittany a TOP PRIORITY after seeing all these cider possibilities.
This forum is bad influence on several fronts, all of them boiling down to wallet blows.

@Giles how many cases are you bringing back for the party?

[Giles]

Tending towards zero - we have a channel to cross

[Tago Mago]

@Giles I figured. Still worth a try though

UK cider drinker here, would love some recommendations (outside of supermarket stuff). Very impressed @Giles on your ciderography.

@Niney Biddenden cider. Made near where I grew up and sold at the pub I went to from age 16 on, I've got very fond memories of it.

I've never tried this, but it's worth including for the endless number of puns and double entendres. https://www.dickinscidercompany.com/
