Dry and fresh with taste of apple blossom and vanilla spice. Creamy soft bubbles and the addition of cherries give it a candy like finish. Pairs perfectly with seafood or cheese dishes.

Bottle. Unclear slightly pink/orange body under a big fluffy pale pink head that fades quickly. Aroma has distinct apple with some funk and a little hint of red berries. Taste is dominated by apples, red apple, yellow apple, apple core with nice funk, acid, and red berries. Can’t say to recognize cherry specific, and I don’t know what ‘ildkvede’ tastes like at all. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. I really like the balance between sweetness and acidity and the funky part is also at a fine, quite moderate level that just amplifies the taste of the combination fresh/mature apple. This is really a cider of my taste.

Bottle, 75cl. It pours a deep reddish orange body, almost clear, with a small, dense off-white head. Lightly funky aroma, lemon, leather and barnyard, and apple, pear and a vague cherry hint. It's dry, tart and full-bodied, with a nice carbonation. Quite funky flavor too, with apple, some grass and pear, and some apple cores. Long fruity, funky finish. A nice one indeed. 210418

Cloudy peach to pink to red colour, pours sparkling with an off-white head that actually lasts a while. Aroma of sour apples, quince and cherries. The flavour is slightly dry with a nice fruity acidity, notes of apples, quince and cherries, hints of almonds and marzipan.
