Bottle, 75cl. It's a clear dark golden colored cider, still and headless, except a few bubbles from the pour. The aroma has a very light funk, with notes of mushroom and earth, but mostly it's well ripened apples, in a generic way. Some alcohol and hints of grass too. It's full-bodied, lightly warming and flat on the palate, with a suitable sweetness level. Still, there's some tartness going on. Ripe apple, some apple jam and a light touch of apple pie, including a buttery pie shell, vague hints of grass and even some leathery funk in the flavor. Long ripe finish with a tad much apple pie and apple jam, which makes it feels less fresh and refreshing than I'd like. At least if drunk without any food. Anyway, it's a fine cider that I wouldn't shy away from drinking again. 220313

Bottle, 75cl. Shared by gunnfryd. A clear pale golden cider, still looking. The aroma has lots of apples, both fresh apples and baked apples, with grass hints, yellow plums, a faint funky hint and some flowery notes. It's medium to full bodied, with a soft carbonation. Semi-sweet. The flavor has a pleasant funkyness, with some lemony, leathery notes. Apple, grass, baked apple, some generic fruityness and even more apples in the flavor. Long apple driven finish. A very pleasant one, tasteful and easy drinkable. 210131

Vi feirer at vi er trygt tilbake i Vågen etter Fridtjofens Hardangertokt! 0,75 flaske fra produsenten. Egen eplehøst med kun økologiske epler, i hovedsak Discovery og Aroma. Spontangjæring. Klar gylden med lett perlende munnføelse. Hint av stall/høy og halvvisne solvarme sommerblomster (pga spontangjæringen?) i den solide og komplekse eplesmaken. en sider (og produsent!) med personlighet. Deilig fruktsødme i ettersmaken. en av de desidert beste på hele toktet. Forget cava, prosecco and so on - go for world class ciders from Hardanger!
