About
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.

Can. It's almost clear in the glass, pale straw in color, with some bubbles around the rim. Quite sulphury aroma, with pear and yellow apple, grass and some yeasty cellar-ish hints. It's medium bodied and pleasantly carbonated, quite dry, yet with a touch of fruity sweetness. Sour apple, hints of pear and grass, some sulphur and yeast and even more sour apple in the flavor. Long finish. Yet another low alcohol cider proving this type of cider should be at 6% ABV or more. Decent though. 220806

Bottle, 75cl. It's almost clear in the glass, pale red, with little to no carbonation. The aroma has a nice blend of raspberry and apple, some grass and a herbal, apple core-ish touch. A bit gentle though. It's medium bodied and very soft on the palate, with a hint of raspberry bitterness, some acidity and a light sweetness. Raspberry driven flavor too. Lasting finish. A bit dull this one, but tasteful anyway. 220723

Shared 750 ml clear bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8%. Pale yellow colour. Nice apple aroma. Moderately sweet flavour of dessert apples, very good.
Also bought a 750 ml bottle at the cidery, shared with my son. Went very well with our fish & shellfish soup.

05.11.2021, 0,75l bottle sampled @ Norsk Siderfestival:
Small fizzy shortlasting head, clear rose color. Aroma is slightly sweet sour-ish fruity, sweet raspberries, sorrel, minerals, berry skin, alcohol, fruit stones, bark, raspberry candy. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish fruity, berry skin, fruit stones, sweet dusty raspberries, unripe pears, alcohol, minerals, bark, grass. Medium bitterness, slightly sweet sour-ish fruity mouthfeel. Fair enough.
