This little Charmer definitely likes to keep things interesting. There’s an initial burst of pine freshness on the nose that gradually gives way to the scent of rich orchard apples. Pour Charmer into a glass and the rich aroma of deep apple tannins is released. The gentle sparkle of the first sip gives way to a floral, summery flavour with a citrus tang - but once again Charmer changes its character, moving on to a mellow apple sweetness that lingers on the tongue, ending with a crisp, refreshing finish.
A gently sparkling premium cider to match with fish & chips, and with its low carbonation, goes superbly with Asian food

Vi brygger årets juleøl ("Julebrun på Holmen"), og da er ratingarbeid en essensiell del av bryggeprosessen. 0,5 flaske fra polets nettbutikk: Klar gylden med kort skum. Inviterende aroma og smak med dybde og kompleksitet. Myke tanniner, like myke og smakfulle epler og snev av kanel.

500ml bottle from Morrisons supermarket. Pours a sparkling yellow gold colour with a white foam head that quickly dissipates away. Aroma of mellow fruity apple and light funk. Taste is sweetish, apple, fruity, some tartness and tannin, alittle woody oak and hint of funk. Medium bodied, fine slightly spritzy carbonation, dry tangy finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle at the Cerise Bar, Reading. Yellow with a light sparkle. Sweet apple juice from the start but there’s definitely a hint of something a bit more real in this cider. There’s a whiff of smoke at the start, a definite touch of farmyard throughout and a little woody dryness at the end. But the sweetness is just a little too strong to be offset by these other tastes and it leaves your mouth rather sticky afterwards. There’s some decent flavour here though; it could be quite a decent cider if they took the edge off the sweetness and stickiness.
