Sample. Pours clear golden. Aroma is intense honey, floral and forest honey, like sticking your nose in a honey jar. Body is heavy and sweet, floral honey again, yet not greatly balanced. A bit too one-dimensional, but still good.

Looks like clear apple juice. Aroma is dry cider, slight bubblegum, lots of dry apples. Taste is sweet honey, lots of apples. Quite intense. Some creme brulee on the tongue. Nice.

Tiny bottle, many thanks FinnIckler! Deep golden color with no head. Aroma is breakfast honey, flowery. Taste is vineous, apples, cidery, flowery. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Nice, but too much breakfast honey character.

(Bottle, 0.75 l - no VS000860, from Alko, 20150430) The drink poured deep golden andd clear. It looked quite oily. Aroma had honey, citricness and mildly cowhouse. Palate was medium bodied and dry with very low carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, citricness, honey, something farmhouse-like and mild spiciness. Aftertaste had citricness and honey. A nice drink is small quantities but will turn mildly off-putting after one glass.
