0,5L bottle (from siidrimaja). Pours pale yellow with whiteish head. The head stays for a second. Aroma is sour, bitter, apples, acidic notes. Flavor is sweet, bitter, regular sugar, apples, acidic. Feels thin and simple. Carbonation is rather high (despite label claiming otherwise). Alcohol is well covered. Overall: not a horror, but too sweet and simple so I prefer not to drink this.

Sampled from bottle @ Danish Ratebeer Gathering Ulfborg 2016, Day 1. Completely clear watery liquid, I don’t think there’s a colour for this. It’s colourless basically. It tastes like an apple lemonade to me rather than a cider. Doesn’t mean it tastes bad though, not at all, but it’s just more like a lemonade instead of an alcoholic beverage.
