750ml bottle (Kaubamaja, Tallinn)
Rich orange, continuous carbonation, but no head. Super fruity apple aroma, a touch sour and sharp. Very sharp bit on the tongue, dry woody palate, very crisp and tart, but not lacking any fruitiness, not tasting underattenuated. Pleasantly tart finish. woody too, and medium length. This is almost perfection in a 2.5% cidre.

Bottle 375ml.

Clear medium orange yellow color with a average, frothy to fizzy, quick gone, fair lacing, fully diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy apple, wood, gauze. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light light acidic with a average to long duration, dry. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat to soft. [20101119]

Bottle @ Friday Night Ulfborg Thing. Thanks to Back. Pours cloudy golden with bubbles on top. Nose is fresh and tart apples. Dry and crisp. Medium sweet flavor - yet very drinkable.

Pours medium to dark amber with small head. Apple aroma. Pleasant apple flavour gives way to a wooden aftertaste. Not bad.

0.75 l bottle, courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks a lot for sharing! Poured copper golden body with medium sized, very short living ebony head. Pretty strong sour apple aroma, with notes of cork, sympathic, scents "healthy" and "natural". Sourish flavor, apples of course, some sweetness, as it’s expected, vinegar and cork notes, too. Sourish long, bit mouth pickering finish. This one was really fine for me, I look forward to brut version.

Poured a lpale orangey-amber colour with a medium to big, slightly off white head that went away immediately. The nose is dusty, notes of cork, slightly funky/sulphury, apples. Not the most pleasant one around but does seem genuine. The taste, however was a bit of a letdown. Sweet, bit sulphury... basically an odd, kinda fakeish sweetness with a light, nice mouthpuckering appley tartness breaking through from time to time. Bit funky, notes of rice crackers maybe. And the odd sweetness again in the aftertaste. Wouldn’t exactly call it simple, but I definitely wouldn’t call it good. Shows some potential but isn’t as enjoyable as it should be...

Light amber color; poor head. Ripe, oxydized apples aroma. Medium sweet, too much CO2, very simple.
