Can. It's a sparkling pale pinkish-orange cider, headless. Rather sulphury aroma, with some pear in the back. It's medium bodied and quite effervescent on the palate, mostly on the dry side, with a flavor driven by pear. A good dash of bakers yeast fermentation and some raspberry notes too. More raspberry in the finish. Too sulphury and yeasty this one, else it's quite decent. 211103

Bottle, 75cl. As X. It's a quite fizzy one, with a huge quickly collapsing head. Lightly foggy, golden in color. The aroma is dominated by ripe apple, with apple pie hints, apple core notes and a faint touch of alcohol and something spiced, foresty. It's full-bodied, warming and quite effervescent on the palate, with lots of apple flavors. Ripe apple, some apple cores and notes of apple jam. Some grassy hints too, and a touch of alcohol. Lasting finish. A quite pleasant one, lots of nice apple flavors. 211020

0,33 boks innkjøpt hos Hardangergutane og drukket i passasjersetet i bilen på vei til Voss: klar lys gylden med et lite rødskjær og kort skum. Beskjeden aroma. Pæresmak med et par bringebær i bakkant. Småsur, tynn og lite inspirerende.

Bottle, 75cl. It's a ruby-colored cider, clear and still. Berries, cellar, apple, grass and some apple cores and alcohol in the aroma. After a while, the apple is pushed more to the front. It's full-bodied and quite dry on the palate, with lots of berries and apple in the flavor. Some alcohol and grass chimes in, with a touch of dusty cellar. Long fruity, apple finish. A pleasant one indeed, even though I'm normally not very fond of berry ciders. 201122

Bottle, 75cl. A faint haze in a mostly clear straw colored cider. Some bubbles rising, but no head forming. The aroma have a faint touch of sulphur and higher alcohol, but it's mostly very ripe apple, some apple storage room, grass and a touch of canned pears syrup. It's full-bodied, surprisingly warming for the ABV, smooth and with a pleasant sparkling sensation. Ripe apples mixed with fresh apple juice, some unripe apple grassyness and a very light sweetness. Rather acidic finish though. Except for the sulphur and alcohol, it's a very fine drink, went well with my creamy pasta dish, and served fine as a drink after the meal. 200906
