Jan. 2022: Rerate, 750 ml green "champagne" bottle, vintage 2020, bought at the cidery in August 2021. ABV is 9%. Pale golden colour, pours sparkling with a small and shortlived white head. Fresh and pleasant aroma and flavour of the Discovery and Aroma apple varieties. Semi dry.
Original rating Oct. 2020: Served per glass at NOK 115 (!) at Hotel Ullensvang, Lofthus. Golden colour, moderately sparkling (the bottle was already opened). Very fresh and attractive aroma and flavour of eating apples / dessert apples, semi-dry (or semi-sweet, if you like). Would happily buy again.

0,75 flaske fra produsenten, delt med skibsrederen og skogsmatrosen ombord på Fridtjofen ved kai i Lofthus: klar lys strågylden med mild musserende munnfølelse. Herlig duft og smak av de lekreste Hardangerepler sammen med et hint av kanel. Slank, elegant og stilig. Kald eller svakt avkjølt - like god!

Bottle, 75cl corked. A lightly hazy golden colored cider with some white bubbles. Quite sweetish aroma with fresh apples, orchard, grass and apple pie. A light touch of caramel chimes in. A bit alcoholic on the palate, full bodied and a tad sweet, with a pleasant carbonation. Fresh apples, apple pie hints, grass and some apple cores. Sweet, yet dry finish. A bit sweetish, but nice. 190928
