Bottle. It pours a clear, pale yellow body under a small, white head. Weak nose with apples dominating. Well, not much else going on. Apples, some sugary sweetness, a touch of mold and some sulphur in the flavor. Medium body, some acidity. Well, not my cup of tea, even though it’s drinkable. 120124

2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Sigmund (3709) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - NOV 13, 2011
330 ml capped bottle, from Bunnpris Gourmet Middelthon. ABV is 4.6%. Extremely pale yellow colour, pours fizzy with a white head that actually lasts a while. Strong aroma of oxidised cider apples, notes of sulphites and oak. Medium dry (or medium sweet, if you like) flavour of cider apples, with some less pleasant sourish and "artificial" notes. Thin mouthfeel. Hints of sulphites and oak. Drinkable, but clearly not Aspall’s best cider.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 lusikka (2531) - Tampere, FINLAND - OCT 30, 2011
500 ml bottle. BBE 07/2013.
Pours a very light yellow colour with a white foamy head. Loads of visible bubbles. Looks like a sparkling wine. Aroma of tart green apples, dough and citrus. Flavour of tart green apples, dry wood, toffee and lemon. Medium bodied and a very dry finish with tart green apples. Lively carbonation. This is pretty much a light version of a sparkling wine. Refreshing.
