Klar lys gul farge med bobler. Lukter modne epler og blomster/gress. Frisk smak av epler. Ganske så sprudlende i munnfølelse. Nesten i overkant.

Clear golden, no head. Aroma of ripe, yellow apples, taste is zesty, very fruity and appealing. An elegant dry cider, lacks nothing on a fine champagne.

Bottle, 75cl, at Jæren Ølfestival pre-tasting. It pours a clear pale straw colored body. Some carbonation and a few white bubbles. Perfumed, apple aroma with a touch of apple cores and a hint of leaves. It’s nicely carbonated and quite dry on the palate, medium to full bodied, with a light acidity. Apple, some apple cores and a leavey, grassy touch, quite perfumed. Lasting finish with lots of apple. A bit straight forward this one, but refreshing. 220812

Bottle. Clear golden body under a fast disappearing, small white head. Both aroma and taste are quite mild and clean. There is a distinct but not particular strong apple flavor, balanced sweetness, and acidity. Easy drinkable and suitable for milder dishes. Balanced body and same, easy going aftertaste. Sure a pleasant cider that would never be able to offend anyone.

0,75 flasek fra Apal Sideri, oppmerksomt overlevert av seremonimester Melberg og delt med Kitty og Einar: klar blek strågylden med lett perlende munnfølelse. Frisk, syrlig og en tanke skarp smak. Aromaen har i tillegg noe lett parfymert over seg. Deilig eplesyrlighet (og diskret humlebitterhet) i avslutningen.
