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.

Rerate, 330 ml bottle, harvest 2018, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.5%. Pale golden colour, pours sparkling with a large but shortlived head. Strong and distinct aroma of dessert apples. Light bodied. The flavour is medium dry, notes of apples and sulphites. No match for the Edel 12%, but okay. Original rating: On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Clear golden colour, small white head that soon disappears. Moderate carbonation. \"Perfumed\" aroma of sweet eating apples, a hint of oak. The flavour is better, nice and fresh flavour of apples, medium sweet.
