Bottle @ ZZT X shared by Caesar. Hazy yellow color, virtually no head. Smell and taste (Dutch) "appelmoes". That’s it, it’s pure liquid appelmoes. Moderately dry. Sweetish. Ok cider.

Bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours sparkling golden with a fizzy offwhite head that quickly dissipates without leaving any trace on the glass. Smell is slightly sour, fruity and rustic with a mixed of smashed sweet and sour apples, moist hay, leather, vanilla ice cream, cinnamon sparkled dried apple slices, dry soil, raisins, earthy minerals and hints of moist basement and lemon juice. Taste is tiny sweet, slightly sour, fruity and tiny funky with smashed sour green apples, moist hay, leather, unripe star fruit, sweet apple skins, dry soil, raisins i calvados, vanillin and hints of barnyard. Mouthfeel is crisp, sparkling, slightly dry, tiny tannic astringent and light to medium bodied.
