Bottle from Astor Wines. Sipping away on my stoop, awaiting the inevitable onslaught of trick or treaters. Ommegang anniversary glass. Clear, golden, laquered body. Smell is deep, floral & fuming with bittersweet pears & black tea-like essence. Taste is bittersweet apples, moderately tannic and salivating. Light oak. Flat, with hints of continued fermented. Medium, lingering acid. Curious drying, pithy finish that reminds me of the one other quince cider I've had in my lifetime. Abv is on point, maybe a touch hot. Very tasty & quafable.

750 ml screwcap bottle, from Vinmonopolet Verksgt., Stavanger. Vintage 2013. ABV is 6.9%. Golden colour, pours moderately sparkling with no lasting head. Dryish aroma of perry pears, apples and quince, hints of sulphites. Very moderate carbonation in the mouth. Dry flavour of pears, apples and quince, again hints of sulphites. Short finish. Easy drinking. No masterpiece, but fair enough.

Bottle. Vintage 2013. A clear, still cider with a few bubbles on top. Rather low on pears in the aroma, with some cores and grass. Generic fruityness and some faint piney hints. It’s medium bodied, semi-dry and smooth on the palate, with pear, pear cores and grass. Some peel from yellow apples. Far from exciting this one, but tasteful and easy drinkable. Would be nice with some pork chops I think. 150724
