Bottle courtesy of Gunfryd. Practical clear golden body with lively carbonation and a small, fast disappearing white head. Aroma is apple with some overripe fruit and light acidity. Flavor is both sweet and acidic with apple and something difficult to identify, but it slightly unpleasant and don’t remind me of gooseberries really. More like ripe, almost rotten fruit. Medium body and sweet/acidic aftertaste with the same flavors as the main flavor. Not totally undrinkable, but not very pleasant either. Strange and kinda unbalanced. Ending up to sweet for me, almost sticky even if it’s acidic as well.

Nice fizzy-creamy shortlasting head. Aroma is strange sour-ish mineraly, sorrel, ashes, fruit stones, paper, minerals, apple cores, old hay, herbs, sawdust, apple peel, rubber, burnt toast, alcohol, old fallen apples. Taste is sour-ish dry mineraly, sorrel, unripe gooseberries, minerals, ashes, fruit stones, apple cores, apple peel, sour apples, grass, burnt toast, weeds, paper, berry skin, citrus acid. Medium bitterness, slightly sour-ish metallic mouthfeel. Just weird.

750 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. Pours sparkling pale golden with a large but shortlived head. Aroma of apples, crushed red gooseberries and some less pleasant unfresh notes, bordering on bandaid and vomit. The flavour is somewhat better, fairly fresh with notes of apples and gooseberries, some bandaid in the finish. Not one to continue with, Balholm. Won’t buy again.

330 ml clear bottle, from Coop Extra, Jørpeland. ABV is 4.7%. Perry brewed with aromatic hops. Very pale golden colour, pours moderately sparkling with a small and shortlived white head. Moderate aroma of pears and herbal hops. The flavour is dry and slightly watery, with some acidic pear notes and hints of hops. Could have been better, could have been worse.

500ml bottle at Bardus Bar. Deep warm golden body. No lace, missing head. Apple aroma, dry, some citric hints. Apple juicy favours with distant notes of cat piss. Dry, rather sweet ending. Rounded mouth feel. Unvaried, but drinkable. (Meet-up with Ellen, Tromsø 31.03.2017).

330ml bottle from Meny, Oslo City. Pours pale yellow. Aroma is bright sweet perry pears and green apple. Taste is remarkably dry with soft, sweet perry fruit. Fine, but lacks a bit of life.

330ml bottle from Meny, Oslo City. Pours clear gold, aroma of fresh fruity apple juice. Taste bears fresh apple juice with a drying finish. Very clean on the palate, although lightly sticky, with a light sparkle. Good fruity character. Easy-drinking. Not bad.
