A thirst-quenching dry cider made with Norwegian apples and classic English and Cascadian hops. Hold Fast was the motto of the jacktar sailors plying the seven seas and climbing high in the rigging. Notes of pine sap, citrus, wildflowers, white pepper and a slightly salty note from apples grown beside the fjords of Norway.

440 ml can, from Bunnpris Sauda. ABV is 4.7%. Slightly hazy pale yellow colour, pours sparkling with a small and shortlived white head. Moderate but nice aroma of apples, a hint of piney hops. Very refreshing and medium dry flavour with moderate citric hops

Can shared. Hazy pale straw to even greenish, small white head. Dry green apple, grassy, flowery hops,light spices, mineral. Light sweet and sour, bit more bitter. Over light bodied, medium dry finish. Bit bland, but the hops do help.

Can. It pours a lightly hazy pale yellow-golden body under a few white bubbles. The aroma has a piney, lemony hop touch, with apple and some grass in the back. Apple cores and flower too. It's a bit thin on the palate, decently carbonated and lightly sour, with a touch of bitterness. Pine cones, grapefruit zest, apple cores and a good dash of fresh apple. Flower hints. Short lived finish. A quite decent one, but the base cider feels a bit uninteresting. 210616

Can from Gulating. Uncelar yellow golden body under a small white head. Aroma is apple and grassy hops. Taste is also apple, moderate sweet to dry apple with grassy hop pellets and some bitterness. Hint of some acidity in the background. Medium body and aftertaste have a little bit sweeter apple than first impression. Mild acidity and grassy bitterness finish the experience. This is actually one of the first coder with hops where the hops is really present both in aroma and taste, that’s a god thing, on the other hand I’m not convinced that it’s a god idea to add hops in cider.
