About
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.

Fra flaske hos produsenten, Fridtjofens Hardangertokt aug-20: klar rødgylden med perlende munnfølelse. Nydelig smak av Hardangerepler og-moreller. Fatlagringspreget er tydelig. Syrligfrisk og akkurat passe søt.

Can. Clear pale golden body with a nice white head that fades quickly. Mild apple aroma with sulphite. Taste is light and easy, some fruity sweetness and refreshing acidity. Apple flavor is mild and the sulphite is a bit too dominating. Not very complex. Medium body and a bit short in aftertaste.

330ml can from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Shared with Helga. A bright pale yellow body, a few bubbles on the surface, faint lacing. Vague aromas of apple skins. Mixed taste of mid-dry apples and hop-forward oranges. Ends rather sweet with an apple-fruit hoppy twist. Fair enough. (Tromsø 14.07.2020).

Bottle. Almost clear in the glass, light red in color, and still. Strawberry and apples in a strange but quite pleasant blend in the aroma. Feels sort of sweetish. Earthy notes, candy hints and some rhubarb-like scents. It's medium to full-bodied, sweet and with a soft carbonation. Strawberry and apple flavor, some orchard hints, candy and an earthy hint in the flavor too. Lasting strawberry focused finished. A weird one, but quite pleasant. Perhaps best chilled and with ice. 200618
