Bottle. Red body with a small white head. I have no reason to contest that there is used real raspberries here, but somehow I feel that both aroma and flavor is dominated by artificial raspberry drops. Its both acidic and sweet at the same time and I can't hardy find apples here at all. Just too much raspberries for my liking. I suppose I just miss the sweet tooth for candy flavor.

Fancy glass bottle courtesy of Gunfryd. Crystal clear golden body with no head and almost oily consistent body. Makes a nice swirl in the glass like maelstrom. Intense aroma of sweet, noble, apple, cellar notes, ripe apple and mild, warming alcohol. Flavor is super sweet, concentrated apple but makes some kind of balance with acidity. Moderate cellar notes, some apple core and almost cheery vinous alcohol. Full bodied and never ending aftertaste. Quire amazing, at least for sipping, might be a bit too much all over after a while bit for a small sample glass this is amazing stuff, and as I believe that's the intention with this cider so my rating with be based as a sipper. But the aroma was absolutly the highlight for me, could easliy sit there for quite a while just sniffing.

God looking bottle from Vinmonopolet. Clear golden body with a nice, small but dense head. Aroma has distinct mature apple, apple core and hint of fruit in general. Flavor is much like aroma, lots of mature apple and apple core, quite sweet, moderate acidity. Soft and smooth, quite close to pure apple juice or squeezed apple, not much sigh of alcohol and I miss some complexity. Sure a nice apple flavor and fine body, smooth, sweet apple, but compared with a few french one I had after this I had to adjust the score a bit down for the lack of depth and complexity in addition to the nice apple flavor.
