Cidres Polisson

Pinehead by Cidres Polisson offers a rustic and refreshing sensory journey that bridges the gap between orchard and forest. This sparkling Specialty Cider presents an inviting aroma of fresh apple skin underpinned by a sharp, resinous, needle-like quality derived from the infusion of pine branches. On the palate, the bright acidity of the base cider cuts through a delicate, woody bitterness, reminiscent of a crisp walk through a coniferous wood. The 5.5% ABV is perfectly integrated, allowing the interplay between orchard fruit and botanical forest floor to shine in a clean, effervescent finish that captures the essence of a sophisticated cider cocktail.

Appearance. Pale straw to light gold (SRM 2-3); brilliant clarity with a vigorous, mousse-like effervescence. The white head is transient, quickly dissipating into a light ring of bubbles with minimal lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring clean, tart culinary apple notes. A distinct botanical overlay of fresh pine needles and resin is prominent, accompanied by subtle herbaceous and balsamic undertones. Very low yeast esters; no diacetyl or sulfur.

Taste. Initial impression is tart and refreshing with a dominant green apple character. The mid-palate introduces a unique resinous, woody flavor from the pine branches, providing a botanical complexity that balances the fruit. Hop-like bitterness is absent, though a mild tannic bitterness from the pine persists. The finish is bone-dry and crisp with a lingering forest-floor aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a very high, sparkling carbonation level that provides a prickly sensation on the tongue. Zero alcohol warmth. A slight tannic astringency is present, contributing to a clean and structured mouthfeel.
