Bottle, 150cl. It's a clear, sparkling pale golden colored cider, headless, but with some white bubbles on top. The aroma is mellow and apple driven, with some grassy hints and apple cellar. It's full-bodied, lightly warming and faintly sour, with apple dominating the flavor. Some apple cores, grass and alcohol too. Lasting finish. A very smooth and delicious one, but I was expecting more complexity. Dangerously easy drinkable. 211231

Bottle, 375ml. It's a clear pale golden colored cider, still and headless. The aroma is a tad weak I think, but given the ABV I see no reason to complain. More sulphur than preferred though, but else it has a quite clean apple scent, fresh apples mostly, with some notes of grass and apple cores. It's medium bodied and perhaps a tad heavy on the carbonation, semi-dry, with an apple driven flavor. Unfortunately a bit rough on the sulphur in the flavor too. Grass, apple cores, some apple jam and a hint of apple pie too. Too much sulphur in the finish too. A pity it has all the sulphur, else it feels like a quite decent one. 210729

Bottle, 75cl. A clear deep ruby colored drink with some white bubbles. The aroma has some cherry pits and cherry along with apple cider and a touch of oak. Some alcohol and grass and a wee melon hint. It's medium bodied, warming and quite softly carbonated, with a cherry driven flavor. Apple, marzipan, grass, alcohol, cherry pits, some oak and a light touch of apple pie. Long finish. Well, not sure about this one. It's nice in many ways, but the cherries play on too many strings and I'm not sure I like them all. Perhaps a bit too warming too. 210603

klar lys gul farge med hvite bobler som forsvinner. Lukter litt gjær og selvfølgelig eple. Champagne feeling i munnfølelse. Januar 2019.
