Seljord Vin Reviews

ClubGonzo	2 Seljord Eple Bottle. I seriously question this beverage’s place here on Ratebeer: this is by all signs an apple WINE, not a cider. Unless there really is no difference, technically. Except carbonation, because this is as flat as a pancake. Oh well, I guess it’s here to stay since people have already started rating it. :-P Pours a light yellow body with a few sediments floating around. Nose is very vinous, with tart yellow apple notes, white wine yeast and hints of wood and sugar. Taste is more tart yellow apples, alcohol and hints of honey, wood and wine yeast. Musty, yeasty tart apples in the aftertaste. Almost OK, but I wouldn’t go as far as describing it as "good". And seriously: this is a wine. Saturday, April 2, 2011

yngwie	2.7 Seljord Eple Bottle, 75cl. It’s a clear, straw-colored drink, flat and headless. Vinous apple aroma with some sulphur hints and an earthy, grassy touch. Too alcoholic flavor, vinous, more like a boring white wine than a strong cider. It’s fruity, not much apples, and some grassy and sulphury notes. Medium to full body and a warming finish where the apples is at it’s most evident. Not a bad drink, not at all, but the apples are too well hidden, and the alcohol too dominant. Yes, it’s a strong one, but I still find the alcohol too evident. 100102 Saturday, January 2, 2010

Maria	1.7 Seljord Eple It’s light golden and the aroma has notes of apple and sourness. The flavor has a light sweetness and notes of sour apple and a touch of wood. The sourness is overwhelming, and combined with notes of alcohol, it’s really not pleasant. Thursday, September 3, 2009
OleR	1.6 Seljord Eple 0.75 L bottle from Vinmonopolet. Straw colored body with brilliant clarity. No head, no carbonation. Vinous aroma. Sharp fruity with yeast notes and a solvent-like alcohol scent. Vinous flavor as well, astrigent fruity, not very appely. Alcohol-ish with fusel notes and a touch of sulphur. A rather unattractive and boozy apple-wine. Tuesday, September 1, 2009

MiP	2.7 Seljord Eple Bottle, 11%. Weak apple/apple juice aroma. Clear pale yellow colour. The flavour has some white wine to it. Hint of dry apple. A little sweetness to balance. No carbonation. Saturday, August 22, 2009
Sigmund	2.9 Seljord Eple 750 ml screwcap green bottle, from Vinmonopolet (bestillingsutvalget). ABV is 11%. Pours moderately sparkling, no lasting head. Very pale golden colour. Aroma of sweet eating apples, also notes of cider apples and flowers. The flavour is medium sweet (or perhaps medium dry?), anyway this is the driest Norwegian cider I have tasted so far (most of them are made with sweet apples only). The flavour has again a mix of sweet eating apples and moderately bitter cider apples, unfortunately the alcohol is fairly noticeable. Bitter finish. Saturday, July 18, 2009
Ungstrup	1.5 Seljord Eplecider Bottled. A very light yelloe cider with no head. The aroma is sweet with ntoes of alcohol and apples. The flavor is sweet with notes of apples as well as a light acidity, the flavor is a bit artificial. The body is a bit tart. Thanks Papsoe for sharing. Saturday, April 11, 2009
Papsoe	2.8 Seljord Eplecider (Bottle 27,5 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Pours almost crystal clear with a small white head. Tart apple aroma. Light in body with a heavy carbonation and distinct tart apple notes. Rather authentic and by no means commercial and stickingly sweet. 030608 Sunday, August 10, 2008
yespr	1.4 Seljord Eplecider 27.5 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and pale yellow to white with no head. Artificial sweet apple aroma. Flavour on the contrary is not as sweet but still artifical. Goes into a rather dry and acidic to citric flavour and finish. Somewhat bland and quite artificial. Sunday, June 8, 2008
henrikb	3.2 Seljord Eplecider Very pale golden body with a green shine, white head; Not a lot of aroma, what there is is very fresh and flowery; Super fresh body ,great carbonation, sweet and slightly acidy; Long fresh apple flowery finish. Very, very drinkable. Thanks Yngwie. Wednesday, May 21, 2008
larsga	2.2 Seljord Eplecider Medium coarse white head disappears immediately. Nearly colourless body with just a hint of something that might be yellow. Sweet mealy artifical apple aroma with toffeeish notes. Sweetish earthy apple taste with notes of toffee. Quite watery, but clean and smooth mouthfeel. A touch of pear as well. Sharpish on the tongue from the carbonation. No aftertaste. Easy to drink, but too watery, and doesn’t really have much to recommend it. Can imagine teenagers find this easy to get drunk on, though. (0.275l bottle from Ica Gourmet, Aker Brygge, Oslo.) Thursday, November 29, 2007
gunnfryd	2.1 Seljord Eplecider Bottle. Yellow colour . Aroma is ripe apple. flavour is also ripe apple, yeast. OK cider. Sunday, September 2, 2007
OleR	1.9 Seljord Eplecider Bottle. Brilliant pale straw yellow. Noisy carbonatian. Medium white coarse head , quickly diminishing. Aroma is part dry apples, part a regular white wine. Scents of yeast. Taste is more like a dry wine-cooler than a cider. Body is light and the palate is not very filling, but still beyond the usual Norwegian alcopops labelled as ’Cider’.

Sigmund	2 Seljord Eplecider 275 ml clear slimline bottle with twist-off cap. Extremely pale straw coloured, fizzy. Moderate apple aroma and flavour (of eating apples, not cider apples), not very exciting but not offensive either. Fizzy and watery mouthfeel. An okay refreshment, no more than that. Monday, July 16, 2007
yngwie	2.5 Seljord Eplecider Bottle. It pours very pale, just a yellow touch to it, with a nice carbonation. There’s a yeasty sensation to the aroma, which consist mostly of apples, but there’s a pear note as well, even though there’s no pear used in the process. The flavor has apples and yeast, and there’s a note of alcohol as well. Medium to thin mouthfeel. Quite fizzy in the mouth, but not in an unpleasant way. The finish has the same apples and yeast as in the initial flavor, and some alcohol notes. Not a complex cider, but far much better than the other horrible, artificial-tasting, sweet ciders we get in the Norwegian super-markets. Quite easy to down as well. (070713) Friday, July 13, 2007
Beer5000	2.1 Seljord Eplecider 250ml bottle. Pale body, close to water in color. Flavor is ripe apple, almost a bit sherry-like, yeast, a hint of alcohol and rather sweet with some sourness. The sweetness feels more natural and balanced than some terrible Norwegian alcopop versions of cider. I’m not to keen on ciders, and believe a cider should be a bit rougher in style, but this is anyway a quite refreshing drink and deserves more success than it probably would get. This is more like a commercial version of a farmer cider. Monday, July 2, 2007
