Jan. 2022: Rerate, 750 ml green "champagne" bottle, vintage 2020, bought at the cidery in August 2021. ABV is 9%. Pale golden colour, pours sparkling with a small and shortlived white head. Fresh and pleasant aroma and flavour of the Discovery and Aroma apple varieties. Semi dry.
Original rating Oct. 2020: Served per glass at NOK 115 (!) at Hotel Ullensvang, Lofthus. Golden colour, moderately sparkling (the bottle was already opened). Very fresh and attractive aroma and flavour of eating apples / dessert apples, semi-dry (or semi-sweet, if you like). Would happily buy again.

Klar brun med bobler. Lukter modne epler og gjær. Lukter godt men smaken sitter desverre ikke må samm måte. Mye gjærsmak og noe tam. Fin flaske men ikke særlig mer å skrive hjem om.
