A & A Aroma

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Askje 13.10.18. Very, very pale yellow. No head. Aroma and taste of green apples and sour wild apples. Dry and slightly sour mouthfeel.

Fra 0,75 flaske (med skrukork) på RBHD-samling hos Asle Bjørn, okt-18: klar blekgul, nesten fargeløs uten skum. Ren og mild eplesmak. Deilig forfriskning og munnrens, dog uten den store kompleksiteten.

750 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 7.5%. Extremely pale colour, probably the palest cider I've ever seen, looks nearly like sparkling water. Pours sparkling with a large but very shortlived white head. Aroma and flavour of Norwegian Aroma pale eating apples, distinct apple notes, but a bit one-dimensional. Hints of sulphites. I am not convinced that cidermaking ought to be done with a single variety of eating / dessert apples.
