Bottle. Pale gold with strong carbonation and an initial foam. Aromas are toast with light apple and cava wine. Peppery with low woody notes. Flavours are apple with citrus and cava. Lots of sparkle with a boozy finish.

Pours a transparent light yellow -- fizzy, but with no head. A burst of acidic apples and sweet, syrupy fruit. Carbonation comes out on the palate, like a champagne cider. Covers the 11% pretty well. Tasty.

From bottle at SIBF. Sweet, light yellow, quick bubbly head. Slight earthy funk. Tasty whole apple, rich crisp sour-sweet. Champagne yeast. spritely, nice.

Tasting at Papsø’s, corked bottle
Blond color, with a large but short lived head. Nice, fresh, apples aroma, but no particular sign or depth. Semi-dry mouthfeel, with apples flavor, very light tannins, and a quite well blended alcohol presence. Decent, elegant, although missing some true character.

You? Who wants a model that looks like a spotty baby crossed with the Statue of Liberty? .. . 750ml bottle from D&Q .. . Pours a medium gold .. light foam but cider .. . quite fizzy and a touch gassy, its light champagne .. . touch of wicked side, you can tell its beefed in the alcohol department, but frankly well masked when you see its actually 11% .. . apple juice mostly, but cider .. . good but to pricey to ever have again .. .

.. When I say I’m gonna deliver, I fucking deliver.

Like a postman with Tourettes?

(Sample at Papsø’s) Pours a pale, clear straw with practically no head. Aroma is a faint apple sourness with faint notes of oak. Medium-bodied, medium carbonation, watery texture and an astringent finish. Taste is tart apple. I’m not used to rating ciders so my vocabulary here may be even more limited than what it is for beers.
