Ice cider. ABV will vary significantly from one vintage to another. Malus Danica is a cryo-concentrated cider, containing apple varieties Ingrid Marie Cox Orange, Filippa, Fiery Pigeon, Elstar and Jonagold. Each apple variety was picked at optimum ripeness and immediately pressed into must. This must was then frozen in a cold storage. The freezing and subsequent thawing at 0 degrees outside, concentrated the musts to a viscous apple syrup which slowly cold fermented in the winery for 12 months. The result is an intense apple experience with high acidity and syrupy apple sweetness that fills the mouth with flavor and surprise. Malus Danica should be enjoyed chilled, 5-8 degrees, for good cheese, dessert or just as an experience in itself.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Kjetil’s 27.04.19. Clear golden. No head. Superbly concentrated arom and taste of apples, apple juice, apple cider and a hint of almonds. Very, very good! Intense, rather than dry.

Sampled from bottle shared by SinH4 @ hotelroom tasting after Borefts 2018 Day 1. Clear dark golden color. Aroma I don't get very much other than the obvious apple notes. Flavor is intense ripe, even overripe apple. Seems not very balanced or refined though, a bit rough.

Bottle, courtesy of SinH4. Aroma is flowers, honey, over typical ice cider aromas. Herbal. Body is heavy and strong, still strong apples. Complex and rich. Amazing!

Thnx to SINH4. Any dude that randomly keeps giving me ice cider, is a hero in my books. Current hero count : 1. Awesome guy right there! Pours rather amber colored, darker than the 'common' ice cider. Smell is full, intense, applesauce, booze is extremely hidden here. Really soft and mellow. Taste is extremely full. Applesauce, with noticeable, but not overpowering alcohol. Sweet, but perhaps a bit less sweet than most ice ciders I had before. This one in particular showcases some very intense natural apple flavor. Very nice, as like most to all ice ciders.

THX to SinH4! 2013 Vintage. Bright golden. Nose is massively sweet apple, sugar, candy, Turkish delight. Too much sweetness with not much balance or complexity or rather plain sweetness with very sweet candied & dried apples, sugar, concentrate, syrupy, it is good but doesn’t reach the heights of the style for sure.

Bottle. Deep gold color with no head. Aroma is sirupy, apple sauce, sweet, maple, a touch (but just a touch) of walnuts. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel, flat. A bit too sweet and sirupy. Still decent.
