really nice sidra natural aroma, tart apples, no sweetener, sour apples, faint leather, tiny bit of funk bot mostly quite clean but not so clean as to be industrial.
flavor is apples, some kind of slightly weird yeast like bitterness, slightly buttery feel to it, easy drinking but also feels like cider mixed with water and oil. Not that this is the case, but i get that feeling. watery / watered down flavor and slighly oily texture. Not the best sidra natural i've had.
75 cl btl. from alcampo just above puerto de la cruz, tenerife
berryish perfumey aroma. in a way it reminds me of cheap spanish nonalc radler. not a compliment.
flavor is slighlty better, more like a watered down berliner weisse with a bit of fruit extract in, and some vodka. maybe herbal cheap white rum. the alc. is not hidden, it's in the way. the rest is too watery.
way below my expectations from to øl, their beers are among the better supermarket craft beers, but not this time.
strong ripe apple or apple juice aroma, below that notes of more tart and sour apples, some leather.
flavor is typical ice cider, balloons in the mouth and is very very flavorful, tart apples, ripe appels, leather, sweeter than cider is normally but at the same time also tart and sour apple cider notes. low on leather and wood and funk. most ice ciders taste totally awesome and this one does too, but is not one of the best. Still makes it clearly worth the money and a treat. great sipper.
stylish very thin very long bottle that is way too easy to knock over if you're not careful, but it looks awesome.
bought in alcampo just below orotava / just above puerto de la cruz, Tenerife.

citrussy lemongrassy aroma, crisp malts, ligt feeling to the aroma overall. hops are citrussy and us ipa ish' only milder / weaker. bit like a session ipa can be.
flavor is herbal malty with herbal hoppy notes, also faint citrussy notes. almost tastes like a belgian ipa, when they are a bit messy.
malty, flowery, bitter hoppy aroma. hops are european style flowery and aromatic but flavorless bitter.good balance for an european ipa.
flavor is rounded, slightly flowery, good dose of malts, some bitter european style hops to balance, easy drinking, the bitterness works well and keeps the beer refreshing. pretty solid european style ipa.
gift from søren
mild malty aroma, very slightly nutty, very faint mineral watery salty.
flavor is aromatic malty, clean, very slightly sweet nutty, quite malty for a pilsener, low on bittering hops, malts seems to drive most of the bitterness, in the far end some euopean hoppy pils bitterness, but faint.
not as quenching as north european crisp bitter pilseners but very flavorful and would probably work super well if you are not tired, but hungry.
Gift from Søren, tnx.
