Light yellowish gold in color. Very crisp, balanced with sweetness and tartness. Still, you can notice the alcohol. Not bad overall.

Bottle @ Odense Tasting, February 2012. Pours clear pale golden with a small off white head. Sweet nose os sulfur and green apples and a bit of grain. Lots of green apples in flavor with a bit of acidicity.

Yellow with a small white head. Aroma of fresh green apple, with an odd note vegetable. Sweet apple flavour with a bit of acidity

Pleasant, light apple flavors. Heavy carbonation adds a layer. This is not offensive, nor is it very interesting.

550 ml bottle from Shaw’s Supermarket in Copley Square, Boston. Pours a clear gold with a very thin white head that vaporizes upon pouring. Pleasant aroma of apple with some yeasty notes. The flavor is similar with apple, lightly sweet, with some yeast. Moderate effervescence. No problems.

Bottle - Pours pale yellow with a thin ring of off-white head. Kind of a flat apple nose, with a bit of sharp heat in the background. A bit sweet, but pretty limp and has a touch of sourness to it. A bit of honey sweetness to it, with the same subdued apple taste. Nothing spicy about it, mostly just syrupy sweet. Really carbonated, so jacked up that you can’t taste a thing until the biting subsides.

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Straw yellow with a big fluffy white head. Notes of apple and sugar. A touch of toffee there as well. Taste shows sweet apples with a slightly acidic and sour finish. Nice quaffer

Sampled at Nærbø Ølfestival. Clear golden body with a thin, white film of head. Mild aroma of apple with a hint of yeast. Mild, sweetish apple flavor, low acidity. Quite plain. Medium to thin body. A pretty straight forward cider, drinkable but not exiting at all.
