Description
Epli Sideri si historie starta tilbake i 2015 då dei to brødrene Kristian og Karl Magnus starta å lage eplemost og sider på familiegarden på Sekse i Hardanger. Dei to brødrene danna då selskapet Hardangergutane. Kort tid etter oppstart kom kona til Kristian, Inger, inn i selskapet. Det heile starta på låven i den gamle driftsbygningen på familiegarden på Sekse kor brødrene begge er vokst opp. Etter nokre år vaks Hardangergutane ut av driftsbygningen, og flytta inn i eit større lokale i eit gammalt fruktlager på Børve. (Ullensvangvegen 1525) Inger og Kristian kjøpte i 2021 ein ny og større gard på Sekse kor dei på kort tid har gjort eit omfattande arbeid med å plante opp nye frukthager, samt at dei også etter kort tid starta å planlegge bygging av nytt produksjonslokale.
I 2023 valgte Karl Magnus å gå ut av selskapet og Inger og Kristian tok over drifta. Sommaren 2024 går Hardangergutane inn i ein ny og spennende epoke kor produksjonen blir flytta tilbake på Sekse i nye og meir tilpassa lokale. Summen av desse endringane gjorde at vi hadde ønske om å skapa ein tydeligere identitet, og navnet Epli Sideri såg dagens lys.

Fra flaske på Gladmatfestivalen juni-24: klar strågylden med med kort bruseskum. Tørr og ren eplesmak, men uten særlig dybde.

33cl can bought at the source. Pours pale straw coloured without any head to speak of. Strange yeasty unpleasant almost rotten smell, but flavour was cleaner and more pleasant. Mild, medium sweet and some acidity. Okay as long as you don't smell it

30.12.2023, 0,75l bottle (2022 vintage) @ home:
Nice fizzy shortlasting head, clear light golden color. Aroma is fresh fruity, apple peel, dried apples, yeast, flowers, alcohol, dusty apples, leafs, apple winegum, hops. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish fruity, unripe apples, sorrel, flowers, citrus, alcohol, leafs, apple peel, apple winegum, hops. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh sour-ish fruity mouthfeel. Fair enough, far from the best hoppy cider I've had.

May 2020: 750 ml clear bottle, from Vinmonopolet Sauda. Apple cider with 5% blackcurrants. ABV is 10%. Clear red colour, pours sparkling, no head. Aroma of eating apples and blackcurrants, hints of hay. Flavour mainly of apples, moderate notes of blackcurrants. Some fruity sweetness, but not too much - still quite crisp. Decent as an aperitif, or with food. Well balanced, easy drinking.

June 2021: 750 ml clear bottle, kindly supplied by Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger, on my initiative. ABV is 4.7%. Clear and very pale straw colour, pours sparkling with a large white head that actually lasts a while. Pleasant aroma of sweet and sour apples. Pleasant, slightly sweet and refreshing flavour of dessert apples. Yummi - this is the real thing!
