75cl bottle on Christmas Day 2021. Shared with Soph over Christmas Dinner. Pours clear gold, high spritzy carbonation. Hoppy, piney nose alongside stewed apple fruit. Taste continues along these lines with a fine lively spritz and interesting sappy piney notes alongside stewed apple fruit, caramel and mild floral citrus moments. Good alcohol boost. Decent.

(Bottle) Golden colour with foamy white head. Fruity, slightly hoppy nose with apples, citrus, peaches, stone fruit, fresh hops and a touch of sweaty socks. Fruity taste with notes of green apples, citrus, fresh hops, stone fruit, a touch of yeast and a tart and dry finish with a mild bitterness. More than medium body, dry. Fresh and tasty, with a mild hop character. Nice one.

Glass by bottle @ Holm Cider in Copenhagen. Clear golden body under a moderate sized white head. Nice aroma, apple, hay, hint of citric fruit and green, grassy hops. Taste is sweet and sour apple, green apple, grassy hops, citric fruit and mild wood. Fine body and same aftertaste. A successful version of hoppy cider.
