Bottled. A very cloudy dark golden cider with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of fresh apples with a bit of spices. The flavor is sweet with a light acidic edge and strong notes of apples combined with lighter notes of wood and spices, leading to a lightly tart finish.

750ml bottle in a pair, found at your local Parisian Auchan. Nice pour, decent head for a low-alcohol cider like this and okay orange body. Aroma has notes of caramel, apple seeds, cider sweetness. Taste is a mix of soft apples and roasted nuts with a light and soft finish. Very good.

Bottle, shared by HenrikSoegaard. A slighlty hazy, almost golden cider with a minimal-sized white head. Flat. The aroma has ripe apples, orchard and some sugar. It’s a bit sweet in the mough, almost sticky. Medium body and flavors of ripe apples and a cold, autumn orchard. Apples in the finish, some apple core too. A flavorful and quite tasteful one, definitely not bad considering it’s low ABV. 100812

0.75L bottle, clear deep gold colour, aroma of ripe and dried apples, flavour of ripe apples and something citrusy, a little sweet but with a strong counter balancing sourness and a touch of bitterness. Excellent with food.

0.75L bottle, clear golden colour, aroma of extremely ripe apples, mineraly notes and a hint of spice, flavour dried apples, sweet but not cloying and feels quite light, sweetish aftertaste with some sourness in the back. light and pleasant and very drinkable but not complex.

Decent apple aroma but not overly complex. Orange-yellow colour. Decent apple taste, but again lacking much layering of flavours. Just a straight ahead cider, but a good one.

Orange colour, plenty of fluffy head that sticks around longer than usual for a cider. Aroma is sour apples and some wood. Taste is soft apples with a murky very sweet apple finish. Very sweet in fact, I guess that’s where the "intense" part comes in.

Bottle sample at a beer festival at Sar Hamashka’ot. Clear golden. Aroma of green apples, some wood and apple skin. Flavor has some light sweetness at first but is mostly dry and slightly acidic with green apples. Refreshing.
