(Cidre Breton, Brittany cider)
Cidre de Bretagne are ciders produced in the Brittany region in France, clear or muddy alcoholic beverages made by the fermentation process, with a foamy head and fine bubbles throughout the body. The ciders vary in color from yellow to brown, according to their geographical positions, so ciders from Ille-et-Vilaine, which are more acidic, have a lighter color, and ciders from Finistére have a darker color because of the bitter apples from the area.
Britanny ciders have a rich, rustic, fruity, flowery and bold flavor, and develop spicier flavors as they mature. When in Brittany, do not be alarmed when you order a cider and get it served in a cup instead of a glass, it is a traditional oddly-shaped tea cup, with or without handles, used to drink the local ciders.
