mikkellund42 (100) - Vejle, DENMARK - JAN 16, 2012
Bottle. Pours clear dark yellow with small foamy head. Aroma is yeast and fermented apples, but also hints of soap. Taste is medium sweet and light acidic - maybe with hints of bitterness? Body is watery to light oily and dry with fizzy carbonation that doesn’t turn acidic. Finish is light notes of apples, honey and flowers and the carbonation sticks to the mouth for quite some time, making is very fresh and crisp.

Draught at Stereo. Nice appley smell. Fizzy with no head to speak of. Good by commercial cider standards.

sulawang (151) - British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 22, 2011
pours with minimal head, medium carbonation, medium size bubbles. Lots of filtered apple juice flavour, but in there is an aggressive sugar component. Finishes medium clean but rather plain. Slightly above average cider.

Golden colour. Sour apple smell. Medium body. Sour apple flavour. Lemon apple finish with a strong acid aftertaste. The stong taste is unapologietic
