3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a dark straw yellow. Hints of apple on the nose but not too strong. Taste is a smoother and malty like apple taste that tends more to apple juice than cider. Likely due to some of the sugar added. Nice and satisfying though.

500 ml brown bottle, 2011 vintage, will soon be available at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8.2%. Deep golden colour, pours sparkling with a low and short-lived white head. Strong aroma of cider apples, oak and sulphites. Moderate carbonation in the mouth. Crisp and medium dry flavour of bittersweet cider apples, notes of oak, hints of sulphites. Not bad at all.

Bottle at home. Crystal clear onion skin orange colour, no head. Aroma is apple core some wood. Flavour is semi sweet crisp apple some puke and slightly acidic. Alcohol is pretty present in there as well. Headache inducing stuff.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Headless orange amber. Marzipan-smeared latex aroma. Rough, boozy, industrial with palinka, latex and chewy fruitskin notes fizzed to f**k. Mingles unsettlingly with the stench of the missus’ nail polish remover. Might drink that instead. Too close to the park bench/teenage sick bowl for comfort: the alcohol and acidity overpowers all else. Light tannins. A tipper.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours dark copper with a quickly dissipating, fizzy head. Sweet, fruity, sugary, apple, vanilla. Medium bodied. Lightly tart apples, sweet, light vanilla, sugars, honey. Well hidden booze. Interesting, tasty, well done.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Medium to dark gold with a quick disappearing white head. Smells of sweet fruity and tart apples with some vanilla and a rustic woody touch. Medium thin body with soft carbonation. Smooth. Tastes of apples but not too sweet with a scrumpy element and strong wood notes. Feels somehow old fashioned. Dry sweet finish. Easy to drink and very enjoyable.
