Bottle, 75cl, from trade with Bryne. A well carbonated cider with a crisp, quite clear apple flavor and aroma. Some perfumed hints. Quite sweet actually, suggesting there's not too much Dolgo going on here. Not sure about the acidity levels of Royalty, but I assume that one is also quite acidic. Nice. 747414 260118

375 ml bottle in cardboard box, from the cidery, shared by my son. ABV is 10.7%. Golden colour, moderately sparkling. The aroma of apples is pleasant, but not as intense as in other ice ciders. The flavour and mouthfeel, on the other hand, are perfect, with an intense and sweet apple character, and the slight sparkle is lovely and refreshing.

750 ml white waxed bottle, shared by my son, the day after bottling. Clear and very pale straw colour, moderate carbonation. Pleasant aroma and dry flavour of said apple varieties, a slight bitterness, a hint of oak and sulphites.

Bottle, 375ml, from trade with Bryne. Sure, it's a fine cider indeed, but I don't think that low sugar level suits it well. It kind of removes complexity from the drink. Pretty straigth forward apple juice, with some apple cores, grass, overripe apple hints and alcohol. Not boozy though. 747415 251226

Bottle, 75cl corked. From trade with Bryne. A sparkling, quite dry cider, clean yet complex. Lots of fresh apple juice, some notes of grass and ripe apple, a touch of wood or apple pits. Some fermented apple juice notes too. Supposedly bone dry, but it doesn't feel that dry. Anyway, yet another delicious cider from Sandalen, although perhaps too much on the fresh apple juce side. 747415 251205
