Can. Clear golden body with a fine, but short lasting white head. Aroma of fresh apples, mild acidity and hint of grass/leaf. Flavor is like a decent, traditional, medium sweet apple cider, mostly fresh and slightly acidic apples, notable but not boozy alcohol. The hops is recognizable but not very dominating, not like fruity hops, more like the feeling of old hops, tasting a bit more grassy and not really bitter. I think it’s a nice cider, but not really sure if the hops is contribute in any positive or negative direction at all, they just seems to be there in a way.

330ml can from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Shared with Helga. A bright pale yellow body, a few bubbles on the surface, faint lacing. Vague aromas of apple skins. Mixed taste of mid-dry apples and hop-forward oranges. Ends rather sweet with an apple-fruit hoppy twist. Fair enough. (Tromsø 14.07.2020).

Can. Almost clear in the glass, pale golden in color and with a small white head. Fruity aroma, hop fruity mostly, but also a good dash of apples, and some alcohol. It’s medium bodied, soft and lightly warming, with a decent carbonation level. Fruit sugar, piney, grassy hops, apple and a generic fruityness in the flavor. Long, sweet finish with apple dominating. A bit sweet and vinous this one, but I like the hop addition and that the hops weren’t allowed to take over the show. 190607

0,33 boks fra polet i Verksgata, delt med skibsrederen mens vi brygger årets juleøl: klar gylden uten skum. Epler, epler, et par humler suser forbi, og epler igjen. Slank på grensen til vandig, vitamininnholdet tatt i betraktning. Siste dag av Fridtjofens Hardangertokt aug-20, på vei mot Stavanger: 0,33 boks fra produsenten. Klar strågylden med kort bruseskum og perlende munnfølelse. En deilig eplekombo med Aroma, Gravenstein, Discovery, Elstar og Karin Schneider. Humlepreget gir et diskret og interessant løft. Mersmak og mye bedre enn det jeg har notert tidligere - kan det være en ny batch? Eller er det jeg som er bitt en mer erfaren ciderkonsument? Uansett, fortjent opp fra de opprinnelige 3.0
