Brewed by Egge Gård
Style: Cider
Lier, Norway

750 ml corked bottle, vintage 2006, bottle no. 2652. A thin white head, only present whilst pouring. Body is lightly carbonated with a shining, deep straw-yellow color and lots of tiny bubbles constantly rising from the bottom of the glass. Clean, light sweet, quite inviting aroma of apples from the AROMA apple variety. Flavor appears quite sweet at first, but is balanced by a fruity sourness that blends well in. Noticable alcohol, but not disturbing. Feels quite vinous in the mouth. Medium body strenght. Finishes acidulous fruity with a faint alcohol heath. Very likeable, top end Norwegian Cider.

750 ml bottle. Pale whiteish golden colour. Crystal clear. Sweetish apple aroma. Hints of apricoty. Clean fruity aromas. Quite nice aromas for a cider this strong. Spritzy carbonation, but the rich alcohol. Could have been even a little more rich.

Small white coarseish head doesn’t last. Pale yellow body with fast carbonation. Sulphury wooden mealy apple aroma. Dryish-sweetish apple and alcohol taste with wooden notes. Thinnish body. Sharp mouthfeel, some heat. Dryish apple and sulphur aftertaste. Ok-ish, I guess. (0.75l bottle, wine monopoly, Oslo.)

Bottled. A light yellow cider with a fast collapsing white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of apples, as well as a light spicy touch of cinnamon. The flavor is sweet again with strong notes of apples, and light notes of cinnamon, leading to an acidic finish. The alcohol burns slightly in the mouth.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Pours a clear, pale golden with a very bubbly, white head dissipating in no time. Tart apple aroma. Medium-bodied, extremely bubbly from the excessive carbonation. Lightly tart and sulphurous citrus notes. A very inharmonious cider. 270707

Bottle. Clear yellow coloured with a fast disappearing head. Aroma of apples with notes of blue cheese. Flavour of apples with notes of blue cheese and alcohol.

Bottle. [Courtesy of Papsoe, another great tasting session] Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Pale yellow color with a clear sparkling look. Aroma of apple, vinegar. Quit dry texture I must say. Medium bodied with a very fizzy carbonation to the point where it almost becomes too much. Moderated sweet and light acidic flavor. Fresh apple finish. 27-07-07
