Sidra Asturiana (Asturian Cider) vs Cidre Brut: Traditional French Dry Apple Cider

Both drinks rest on cider alone, and both are poured from a height to aerate it, yet they feel quite different in the glass. Sidra Asturiana is cloudy and unfiltered, keeping yeast and apple particles; poured in a thin stream from arm's length, it is served as a small culín and downed in one or two gulps for a fresh, tart, slightly acidic bite before its fleeting fizz fades. Cidre Brut, poured from just 15-20 cm into a bolée, shows a golden color, fine persistent bubbles and a frothy head, with fresh-apple aromas and subtle earthy, funky notes meant for slow sipping alongside savory crêpes, seafood or roast pork.
