Small bubbly-creamy shortlasting head, cloudy dark orangy color. Aroma is slightly fresh and sweet fruity, elderflower, fresh apples, leafs, flowers, grass, perfume, hops, apple cores, hints of citrus. Taste is slightly sweet floral, apple cores, grass, flowers, hay, elderflower, harsh hops, leafs, dusty apples, bark, apple peel, alcohol, hints of citrus. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh floral mouthfeel. Weird.

Bottle, 75cl. A quite hazy orange colored cider with some carbonation and a rim of bubbles. Quite sweetish apple aroma, think apple jam or baked apple, along with a gentle tropical, orangey hoppyness. Pineapple, peach, grass, a touch of orange and a very light herbal note. It's medium bodied and a little bit dead on the palate, a bit more carbonation would've done good with the fruity sweetness. Apple driven flavor too, sweet, but with a bit more hoppyness than on the nose. Quite shortlived finish. Wonder if they made it sweet to stand up against hoppy bitterness, but didn't know that dryhopping don't give you much bitterness. Anyway, it's a quite tasteful cider, but it's too sweet and flat for me. 230412

YG 310323. Golden-orange color with no head. Aroma is apples, grass, yeast. Flavor is apple, grass, yeast, earth. Nice cider.

Bottle, 75cl. It's lightly cloudy in the glass, golden-orange in color, and mostly still and headless. Some bubbles float to the top and stay for a little while though. It's quite pleasant on the nose, apple driven, with some grass, earthy hints and sour fruit. It's medium bodied and quite dry on the palate, far from bone dry though, and with a pleasant tickling on the tongue. Tannins and acidity, with a flavor dominated by fresh apple juice. Grass, bark, wood and earth notes too. Apple cores. Long finish. A very pleasant cider at a rather low ABV. 230331

YG 180323. Orange-pink color with white bubbles. Aroma is apples,rhubarb, roseship. Flavor is apple, rhubarb, roseship, yeast, sourness,grass. bNice cider

Bottle, 75cl. A lightly hazy pinkish-orange colored cider with some white bubbles on top, from a gentle but constand bubbling. The aroma is apple driven, but there's quite a lot of ceneric fruityness too. More rosehip than rhubarb I think. A faint spiced, almost woody hint too. It's a bit thin on the palate, but that of course makes it very downable. A light sparkle and a light sourness too. Fruity flavor with the rhubarb shining through. Rosehips, grass notes, something wood-like and of course a good dash of apple too. Medium length finish. A thirst quencher indeed, although not super-exciting. 230318
