375ml bottle, shared at dinner time by Frau Eva. Clear late straw coloured body, no head and poor lacing. Modest smell of apple skins. Fresh taste of red apples, added by a grassy bite. Prolonged end. Clean on the swallow. Refreshing and okay with our salad, (Tromsø, 25.01.2024).

Bottle, 75cl corked. A sparkling, reddish-golden cider, clear and headless. The aromais apple driven, with some raspberry added. There's a citrusy touch too, guessed that was from the fermentation and funk, but as there's hops added to the cider, I guess that's the explanation. And the citrusy, piney notes feels stronger once the carbonation settles down a bit. It's dry on the palate, quite fizzy and with a hint of alcohol. Apple runs the show in the flavor too, fresh apple juice with notes of apple cores. Red berries and citrus too. Medium length finish. Refreshing and tasteful this one. 231226

Bottle, 35cl. A clear, oily, still cider, deep golden in color. Intense, rich aroma, lots of apple, both fresh and really well matured, with a touch of dried fruit and some alcohol. It's full bodied and warming, smooth and oily, with a good sweetness. Ripe apples, apple juice and dried fruit. Long finish. Not super complex, but very nice. Wouldn't mind repeating this one. 230903

Bottle @ home. Well stored bottle. Clear brown-red body almost without any head, lively carbonation anyway. Aroma has lots of mature cherry with apple cider playing the second round. Some wood and a slightly hint of cellar notes in the nose as well. Taste has an interesting and well-integrated combination of ripe cherry and apple together with oak that almost gives a hint of grapes and actually feels quite vinous. It’s medium sweet and the acidity is moderate with soft carbonation. Fine body with a pleasant aftertaste. Nice and balanced, I think a few years in the cellar has done good things with this cider.
