Sweetish-tart apples in the nose. The cider starts sweetish, easy to drink. Not too tart, nice but low tannins, fruity. A bit like tart apple juice with a few tannins. The aftertaste is fruity-sweetish, a bit tart-adstrigent, nice-round. A good doux 2% cider.
Bottled (from S-Market Maalahti). Reddish orange colour, with a huge bubbly spritzy head, that vanishes in a few seconds with a nice fizzy sound to it. Aroma is farmyard, some sweet apples along with some yeast. Flavour is sweet apples, toffee, some yeast and a bit ripe apples. Very tasty and surprisingly wellbodied for being only 2 %. Rich carbonation ledel.
