Something different - a pear cider from Normandy produced from pear trees estimated to be about 300 years old. Poire Granit had 25 to 50 grams of sugar per litre yet it doesn’t taste particularly sweet. The nose and palate are nothing more complex than pear juice with a slight effervescent bubble. Very refreshing and only 6% ABV. I bought 2 other Cuvées from Eric Bordelet - one had zero ABV. Had a 2nd bottle 21 weeks later on 3rd January 2023 with consistent notes. Refreshing, tasty and uncomplicated.

Best pear cider ever! Period, the nose is so fragrant and taste like biting into a fresh Bosc pear, heaven with freshly baked panettone by @kamelsaci

This is wildly good. The nose is insane honey butterscotch yeasty goodness and the taste is a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. Hard to believe it's only 3.5 abv.

Epic. All the pear on top of all the funk pulsing with the heartbeat of gnarled old orchard. I mean, wow.

Laser beam of intense pear fruit with almost no sweetness and a fine mousse.
