3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, 75cl corked. Vintage 2007 it seems. Bottle #0749. It pours a clear, yellow body with some white head on top. The aroma has fresh apples, apple sauce the smell of an autumn evening in an apple orchard. The flavor is pretty much the same, and it lasts for a good while. Medium body, effervescent and dry, with a teeth-cleansing effect. A quenching cider, but a bit too effervescent I think. (090514)

2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
750 ml corked bottle, vintage 2007, no. 2151. A shortlived white head over well carbonatied, light hazy body. Almost colorless, only a shade of yellow. Prominent sweet apple aroma. Notes minerals and sulphur. Taste is medium sweet, with lots of apples, and hints of artificial sweetener and yeast. Mineralic and light acidic notes in the finish. A quite decent one, but gives an ’industrial’ impression.
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
750 ml clear ’champagne’ bottle, bought at Centra, Oslo. Made from the Aroma apple variety, vintage 2007, bottle #2494. ABV is 4.7%. Extremely pale yellow colour with a greenish hue. Pours heavily sparkling with a shortlived head. Carbonation in the glass subsides rapidly. Aroma and flavour of sweet apples, sulphur and cheap white wine. Fairly thin mouthfeel, sugary finish. They have probably used ’yeast stopper’ and sulphur here to terminate the fermentation prematurely, in order to keep the ABV below the Norwegian ’grocery store limit’ (less than 4.75%). I am not a big fan of this one. Won’t buy again.
