75 cl bottle. Pours clear and hilsen yellow with a small and fizzy head. Aroma is sulphorish, sweet and crisp apples. Alcohol, minerale and dry sulphorish. Dry, almost bitter. Sulphorish. Lingering fruity finish.

Champagne bottle, 2011. Rich, ripe apple nose, some caramel, baked apple, peel, some light grass. Deep amber, clear, almost still. Dry and rather bitter flavor, dusty, grassy, not much apple taste at all. Quite bitter and alcoholic. Interesting. Not immediately likeable, but I think it is growing on me. Very clean and refreshing.

0.375l corked bottle #4012. An 11% cider? Now I've seen that to. Anyhow, this is a crystal clear one. Golden in color with a quickly fading fizzing little near transparent white cider top. It smells of earthy apples, cellar, some woody tones, roses, some caramel sweetness and traces of dry rocks. Not extreme, but quite elegant and nice. It's lively fizzing on the carbonation level this, and really dry. No sweetness what so ever in this and yeah, the 11% has turned this in to something a bit more than your average cider. Indeed, but the alcohol is yet somewhat camouflaged in a strange way. Old dusty apples and cellar. It's really mouthdrying and astringent this. Apple zest and it's almost like chewing on fruity apple cores. Grows on you. Enjoyable, but a small bottle should be enough. At least enough for me. 23.01.2013

Bottle, 375cl corked. Bottled 2012. A clear one, golden in color and with some bubbles around the rim. The aroma is quite pleasant, with apples, apple cores, orchard notes and some grassy hints. A faint note of alcohol and spice notes too. It’s a bit dry on the palate, a bit thin maybe, but pleasant. The flavor is dominated by apples, apple cores and orchard, A really nice cider, although a bit thin. Still, it’s certainly a fine cider. 121219

750 c&c from The Davis Beer Shoppe. 11% ABV. Pours dark orange gold with a transient fizzy head. Deep slightly roasty apple aroma. Med body. Flavor is pretty bitter. There is a roasty aspect - not the old simple cooked apple. It’s astringent enough to suggest oak. It finishes dry and very bitter for cidre. This is much tastier than many ciders. Probably the high ABV helps, but if it wasn’t for the relatively strong flavors I think it wouldn’t. Good stuff.
