33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 03/2015. Thanks tiong!
Aroma has malt, syrup and very starchy feeling. Also some sewer and chocolate tones. Feels like industrial ’kotikalja’. Flavour is rather thin and straightforward with some roasted tones, cocoa and some milk chocolate. Homebrewish and not good.

330ml bottle from K-Supermarket Veljmies, Kuopio

BBE 03/2015 - Pours clear dark amber with a bubbly white head. Aroma of earthy notes, raw grainy maltiness, some distant hints of chocolate and yeast. Taste is sweet, grainy malty and earthy with some hints of cold coffee. Finish is sweet, watery and a bit strange with some off flavors, hints of maltiness and caramel. A bit weak and messy, homebrewish.

Aroma has some sweetish apples and hints of fruit sugar. Flavour is sweet with fruit sugar and green apples. At least this one tastes like a cider, the two other ciders (puolikuiva and rutikuiva) didn’t.

Aroma is quite light with some tart apples and hints of leathery notes. Flavour is tart and rather short with green apples. A vichy‐like finish. Weird stuff like the Puolikuiva was.

Very pale appearance. Aroma has some artifical fruit candies and hints of sugar. Flavour is somewhat tart with green apples and hints of sugar. Palate is too high on CO2. A bit weird for a cider but decent anyway.
