Description
På Lekve Gard har det gjennom generasjonar vore drive fruktdyrking, og som ein av pionerane i utviklinga av moderne norsk sider, sette i 2004 Nils J. Lekve sin fyrste kommersielle siderdunk. Sideren var naturlegvis spontangjæra, slik tradisjonen har vore gjennom hundrevis av år i Hardanger, og i 2006 selde han si første flaske på Vinmonopolet. Det har ikkje stått på idéar og nyvinning på Lekve, i dag tel me vel 20 ulike spontangjæra sidrar, og eige brenneri for eplebrennevin og akevitt. Sommarsesongen kan du kome innom i gardsrestauranten på sidersmaking, og Gardsbutikken held ope heile året. No er det Eirik Lekve Eide, 6.generasjon, og Anna Oppedal Tokheim som skal drive tradisjonane vidare på Lekve.

20.07.2021, 0,75l bottle @ home:
Small bubbly shortlasting head, clear light reddish color. Aroma is sweet fruity, ripe strawberries, grass, fruit stones, alcohol, berry skin, minerals, red berries syrup, apple peel. Taste is sweet sour-ish fruity, ripe strawberries, sour apples, grass, minerals, fruit stones, alcohol, red berries syrup. Medium bitterness, slightly sweet sour-ish fruity mouthfeel. Fair enough, a bit too dominant sweet strawberry touch...

Bottle, 375ml. A clear, still and headless pinkish red cider. The aroma has some nice apple notes, but mostly it's raspberry. There's a vague grassy, orchardy touch in the far back. It's medium bodied, a bit sweet on the palate, with a pleasant low carbonation label. The flavor has more focus on the apple, but still with plenty of raspberry. Hints of grass, bark and a touch of apple pie. Sweet raspberry and apple finish. A bit on the sweet side this one, but quite nice anyway. 220316

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
