0.75l corked bottle. This one pours a clear thin golden body, the head is really quickly gone, and there is just a tiny tiny white hint of it left on the sides of the glass. Aroma is woody and a little bit of sour - almost bretty-sour actually, some sweet apples as well. It has a average carbonation level with what I would describe as a fizzing texture. On the flavors this one has apples, its a bit out there on the sweet side, definitely not dry, and it's also quite woody. A bit sweet, but never too sweet. Yeah, started off not to fund of it, but it really grew on me. As mentioned, a somewhat sweet but tasty cider. 27.03.2012

Bottle, 75cl, wine cork. It’s a clear, still cider. Sort of chemical on the nose, with apples and apple cores. Not too pleasant, but not foul. The flavor has apples, lemon acid and some sulphur. Medium to thin on the palate. Apples and something chemical in the finish. Not my favorite in any way, feeling sort of chemical and unclean. 120124

750 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a small white head that disappears quite fast. Aroma of ripe apples, yeast and a hint of wood. Flavor has a tingling flavor of matured apple, some cellar notes (also described as farmhouse!), hint of oak. Really balanced, quite dry and some acidity with the flavor of apple core in the aftertaste. Nice stuff.

Pale green golden, low carbonation. Light horse blanket aroma. Medium to light body, fine sparkles. Very light flavor, dry somewhat watery finish. Surprising given the strength.
