Unclear golden. Mountain viking woodchipper juice, and an apple. Very stark and dry, green twigs, boozy, more wood than apple, icy watery hard apples. Bittersweet and tart. Some lemonrind and icecubes. Rough and strong, northern cider that works.

6

Tart and dry, but has some fruity sweetness. Rhubarb, caramel, a bit of apple. Nice.

8

Light brownish red, smells fruity, sour, a bit earthy. A bit sweet, dry, fruity, well carbonated. Red apple, black currants. Earthy, smooth, elegant. Best cider ever?

Clear carmine liquid with a golden sheen. Apples, but also a solvent-like background smell, bit sharpish. Drier than regular cider. Again rather sharp dry apple flavour. Complex hints of incense, solvent and truffle. Truffle/musk very marked backthroat by swallowing. Way less sweet than the Quebec cidres de glace. Light acidic surrounding, fruity, but neither lemony, neither green apple. Light dry-out effect, faint and strange slickness at the same time. Tannins playing. Alcohol quite traceable. First impression is strange, almost chemical, but this proceeds quickly to an impressive, much more convincing complexity.
