Bottle. Kindly shared by Beer5000/gunnfryd. It's a murky amber colored cider, still and headless. Quite boozy aroma, wood, cellar, mature apples and a touch of dried fruits. It's tannin rich, woody, boozy and sort of smooth on the palate, with lots of ripe apples, some cellar and a very light sulphur hint. Even a meaty touch. Lasting finish. Sure, there's lots of nice aromas and flavors here, but it's too boozy, and a bit too woody I think. 190921

Bottle. Bottled 180306, 10% ABV. Kindly shared by Beer5000/gunnfryd. It's a clear, dark golden to amber colored cider, still and oily. Really concentrated apple aroma, with a touch of alcohol. Dried fruits and some apple seeds too. It's sweet on the palate, but not really sticky, with lots of concentrated apple flavors. Some notes of apple seeds and grass, with dried fruits and some alcohol chiming in. Long sweet but not sticky finish where the apples do most of the work. Delicious indeed. 190921

Bottle. 2018 edition. A clear straw colored cider with some sparkle and head. It has a clear apple aroma, lightly sweetish, with some grass notes. It's semi dry and nicely carbonated, with a light citric acidity. Yellow apples, apple jam, some notes of grass and lemon in the flavor. Lasting finish. It feels a bit sweet, but is actually rather dry, and sure a quality product. Tasteful and quite complex, especially for a cider at this ABV. And it's not been ruined by excessive use of sulphide. 190814

Bottle, 33cl. It's a clear candy red cider with no head. Well, there's some pink ones at first, but after four-five seconds they're gone. The aroma has quite a lot of raspberry and rose hips, some candy sugary notes, and some apple and apple cores. It feels a bit sweet on the palate I think, but a light sparkle fixes some of that. Medium body. Lots of raspberry in the flavor too, less flowery than the aroma though, and with the apples playing the supporting role. Raspberry driven finish with a pleasant underlying apple taste. Sure, it's a fine rosé cider, but I prefer my ciders without. 190813

En tørr men ikke for syrlig sider. Litt fruktig, og med en fin eplearoma. Temmelig forfriskende drikke på en festival der det er mange og tunge øl. Rydder opp og resetter smaksløkene.

330 ml bottle, from Coop Extra Øvre Årdal. ABV is 4.7%. Crystal clear and very pale golden colour, pours sparkling with a large to small white head. \"Perfumed\" aroma of several varieties of eating apples. Fresh flavour of eating apples, pleasant to drink.

Fra fat på Malt & Humle, Gladmaten 2019: vi tar et lite sidesteg fra alle ølene og befinner oss nå ved Åkre sin stand. Klar korngul med fint skum. Deilig, superfrisk og lettdrikkelig med tonnevis av saftige epler sammen med hint av citron og grønne druer. Pderfekt sommeraperitif til helårsbruk.
