Eplesterk er litt sterkare, litt tørrare og med litt meir kolsyre enn vanleg eplesider.

July 2019: 750 ml clear bottle, from Vinmonopolet Stavanger Verksgata. ABV is 9%. Deep golden colour, pours moderately sparkling with a moderate white head that actually lasts a while. Weird "perfumed" aroma, I wonder which apple varieties they have used here? Semi dry flavour of apples, again these weird "perfumed" and soapy notes. Don't think I'll buy this one again, there are better Norwegian ciders at Vinmonopolet. --- Beer merged from original tick of Attåt Eplesterk on 26 Sep 2024 at 21:13 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5.

Bottle, 75cl. It's a faintly hazy one, with a good carbonation but no head. Deep golden in color. The aroma feels a bit edgy, with alcohol, ripe apples, sour fruit, grass and a faint hint of sulphur. It's full-bodied and quite effervescent, mostly on the dry, acidic side, with some sweetness and a light alcohol warmth. Acidic apple flavor with ripe, sweet apples, grass, tannins, a hint of peach and pine cones and unfortunately a faint sulphur hint. Long warming, sweet and acidic finish with apple flavors in the driver's seat. A tad rough around the edges this one I think, else not bad at all. Perhaps some cellaring would help a bit. 210708

Bottle. Almost clear golden body under a small, fast disappearing white head. Aroma has ripe apple and some cellar notes. Taste has sweet apple, mild wood, acidity and well hidden alcohol. Fine body and tart, acidic finish.

25.06.2019, 0,75l bottle @ home:
Nice fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head, clear golden color. Aroma is slightly dry sour-ish fruity, sour concentrated apple juice, grass, apple peel, sorrel, caramel, apple cores, alcohol. Taste is slightly sweet sour-ish fruity, apple cores, alcohol, grass, minerals, apple peel, dried apples, sour apples, fruit stones, caramel, hints of citrus. Slightly boozy and dry sour-ish fruity mouthfeel. Nice, but I like the lower ABV version better.
