Fire Cider (Cidre de Feu) is a distinctive cider made using the traditional heat concentration method (not to be confused with the non-alcoholic herbal variant), which intensifies its flavors. It is one of the few (only one in 2024?), if not the first , fire cider to originate in Norway. Crafted from Rubinstep apples, this cider boasts a lower acidity compared to typical Norwegian ciders. The juice undergoes heat concentration before fermentation. Once it reaches 7.5% alcohol, it is crossflow filtered to halt fermentation and lightly carbonated (not sparkling!) to preserve its quality. While a traditional fire cider from Quebec has an alcohol content above 9% (below 15), this Norwegian version is adapted to better fit the Norwegian taxation system.

Bottle, 375ml, from trade with Bryne. A gently sparkling golden colored cider with a small white head. Just a ring of foam actually. The aroma is quite sweetish, with some alcohol and lots of quite concentrated apple. Some apple jam like notes. It's sweet, lightly sparkling and full-bodied, with a little warmth. Apple jam, fresh apple, some alcohol hints and a very light grassy touch. Medium length sweet finish. Sort of ice cider-ish, although quite different. Not very complex I think, bu nice anyway. 240806

Fra flaske på Gladmatfestivalen juni-24: klar lys gylden med herlig duft og konsentrert smak av superfriske epler. Ganske intense inntrykk fra en cider på kun 7,5% - nok en delikatesse fra Jo Arild & co.
