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.

Bottle, 75cl. A well sparkling, clear pinkish golden colored cider with some bubbles on top. The aroma is apple driven, with a light berry touch. Herbal, grassy and lightly woody hints too. It's quite effervescent on the palate, medium bodied and not too sweet, with apple doing most of the flavor work. There's some red berries, grass and herbal notes too. Medium length finish with apple, berries and a herbal touch. A bit dull this one, but as it gets a bit warmer than fridge cold, it opens up slightly. Suffers from the ABV though. 220316
