Sampled at Vill & Syrlig. Almost clear golden body with a fading white head. Aroma is light acidic fruit with apples and hint of yeast. Flavor is sweet fruity with apples. Tastes like real cider, but a bit weak and not very distinct. Medium body and a bit short in aftertaste. Last sample of the night at the festival, should probably re-rate.

Sampled at Vill & Syrlig. Slightly unclear golden body with a small white head. Aroma has apple and grassy hop pellets. Flavor is medium sweet apple, some acidic fruit, moderate bitterness and hay. Medium body and aftertaste. Not to convinced if hoppy cider is my taste, but has to take in consideration that this was sampled after 15-20 sour beers so there might be a palate crash. Another to be ordered and re-rated.

Taste is dry fruity, fresh green apples, grass, apple skin, fresh hops, citrus, hay, sorrel. Medium bitterness, slightly dry and fresh mouthfeel.

75 cl bottle @ Sankt Hans Tasting, Ulfborg.
Aroma has alcohol, some apple liquor and honeyish tones. Flavour has alcohol, sake, some watered rum and calvados. Leathery and dry finish with floury apples. Also hints of wallpaper paste and sake. Unusual and not that good.
