Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of yngwie. Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Apple aroma with quite some booze. Medium body, very discreet apple accents but a heavy booze finish. Appears like a weak apple juice fortified with vodka. 180212

Bottle. It’s golden in color, a bit pale maybe, no carbonation. It’s sort of vinous on the nose, white wine-ish, with less apple aroma than I would like it to have. Lightly vinous too. Sort of vinous in the flavor too, with apples dominating. Full-bodied and with a touch of alcohol warmth. A bit one dimentional, but with a pleasant vinous touch. Might be drinking more of this. 120218

750 ml clear screwcap bottle, vintage 2010, from Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget. ABV is 8.5%. This is a still cider from the first Norwegian cidery using primarily homegrown French and English cider apple varieties, not only sweet eating apples. Golden colour, no carbonation. Moderate but nice aroma of cider apples. Dry and nutty flavour of oxidised and bitter cider apples. Interesting, and better with food than on its own.
