375 slimline bottle, from Vinmonopolet Sandnes Kvadrat. Despite the name, this is not a liqueur, but a freeze distilled ice cider. ABV is 16%. Clear reddish golden to amber colour, no carbonation. Intense aroma of concentrated apple juice / cider, hints of oak. Extremely intense and concentrated sweet flavour of apple juice, cider and oak.

500 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6%. Pale golden colour, pours fizzy with a shortlived white head. Aroma of apples, hops and elderflowers. Medium dry flavour with the same elements - the blend of hops and elderflowers does not stand out as harmonious. Won't buy again.
