75cl bottle from Drinks Supermarket. Pours clear gold. Bright nose full of medium sweet apple fruit. Taste presents a really nicely balanced medium, with good depth to the fruit character brought to life with a spritzy carbonation. Mild farmhouse funk and distant woody hints. Welcome strength. Excellent drinkability.

33cl bottle, BB 20/08/2021, lot# 14-815.
Dorée claire, col fin blanc retombant vite.
Arôme est frais, bien axé sur le fleuri - verger frais, fleur de pommier, miel presque sur un melomel.

Palais bien fruité, pomme assez sec et acerbe, petite rondeur oscillant vers caramélisé, fleuri presque de honeydew allant vers un effet de bouche fleuri - pot-pourri rencontre le miel avec effet gousse de vanille très subtil. Grinçant aux dents avec un léger collant aux lèvres - sucre résiduel même si le tout est franchement bien sec.

75cl bottle shared with Soph on Christmas Eve 2021. Clear golden yellow appearance, high carbonation, spritzy. Vibrant nose of lightly stewed apple fruit. Lively palate, great effervescence, with a nicely presented medium-dry character, rounded with a subtle apple core bitterness, some syrupy moments, noticeable alcohol strength. Really enjoyable.

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.

Glass by bottle @ Holm Cider in Copenhagen. Clear yellow to straw golden body with almost no head. Slightly sparkling carbonation. Mild apple aroma, green apple and grapes with an acidic touch. Taste is light and rather clean, green apple, grapes and mild acidity. Medium to light bodied and a bit short in aftertaste. Nice for an aperitif but a bit weak for food.
