Bottle, 75cl. A gusher, producing a big white head soon diminishing into a one-bubble layer. Lots of carbonation going on in the lightly hazy yellowish golden colored body. The aroma is lighlty funky, with fresh apple juice, some unripe apple and apple peel, hints of grass and a touch of bark. Some citrus notes too. It's medium to full bodied and rather heavily carbonated, with a good acidity. Fresh apple juice, green apple peel, some lemony, barnyardish, leathery funk and a touch of bark and grass in the flavor. Quite long finish. A decent one, but they sure need to get control over the bottle fermentation. 241222

750 ml clear bottle, as Feiring Sävstaholm PetNat - 2023, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.5%. Sävstaholm is an old Swedish apple variety, which also has been cultivated in the other Nordic countries. Golden colour, just the slightest haziness, pours moderately sparkling with a shortlived white head. Nice aroma of apples, a hint of sulphites. Light bodied. Very dry flavour, notes of apples and sulphites. Cannot compete with the best Norwegian ciders from Hardanger and Ryfylke.
