Keg @ Cafe Sara, Oslo. Pours clear yellow, no real head. Aroma is strong pure apple fruit. Taste continues with a luscious fruity character, highly juicy with some soft fleshy moments. Yet another great cider from the Hardanger region. Exceptional.

Fra fat på årets siste Mi2, Cardinal des-16: klar, lys strågul med kort skum. Deilig, rund og saftig aroma og smak av spise-epler fra Hardanger, akkurat passe søt. Hint av eik/vanilje? En meget lettdrikkelig og elegant cider.

From tap at Mi2 at Cardinal 19.12.16. Clear, pale yellow. Small, white head. Fine aroma and taste of apples from old Norwegian apple trees. Dry. Dangerously quaffable.
