A dark orange cider with a huge light orange head - that collapses quite fast. The aroma is strong apply with hints of wood. The flavor is sweet combined with an acidity from the apples. It leaves a dryness on the palate, but has a very weak body. The flavor is not nealy as good as the aroma.

Can 50 cl. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Lightly tart apple aroma. Medium body, apples alright but also a distinct edge of citric acid. Tart finish also. 230110

50 cL can. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small and fizzy white head. Distinct dry apple phenolic aroma from a distance. Mild mouldy accent. Flavour is dry and acidic, smooth apple flavour beneath and with a nice phenolic touch into the finish.

Bottled@O’malleys, Vaasa. Pale golden colour, no head. Aroma is papery and dry with some mild hints of apple and rubber. Flavour is at first quite dry and ok apples, but as it warms up slightly it gets very rubbery and cardboardy notes and gets quite unpleasant to drink.

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet with artificial apples and phenol.
