Cider


Tried a new #cider today. This was probably the best cider of the summer, but it was also the most expensive.
A little stronger in alcohol than regular cider (7.5 percent), which is felt in the taste without the alcohol taste taking over. From Normandy, dark yellow in colour. Fruity and very clear apple flavour, with a tone of spruce needles, slight roughness. Tone of Calvados in the first part of the taste, which then turns into a clear taste with a tone of red apples. Weak acidity but strong fruitiness, not at all excessively sweet.

Today I tried a new #cider again. It was probably about time I tried this one... (The name of the cider, "Sent om cider", translates to approximately "better late than never".)

Good balance between acidity and tartness in the taste. Lot of carbonation that fades quickly. Clear apple character in the taste, more green and yellow apples than red ones. Serve well chilled, on its own or with a lighter meal or snack. Easy to drink and pleasant in taste.

Today I tried a new cider. To be honest, its name (It shall be incomprehensible how the wondrous happens) was a big part of the reason I bought it. But what did it taste like?

Almost no sweetness, lemony tartness with some wineiness in the body. Light in colour, made from unfiltered must, slightly weak in body. Should be drunk with some kind of snack, preferably salty, like cheese, or meat or fish. Not a favourite for me.

Cider


Today I tried a #cider that's new to me: #Galipette Rosé. I have tried Galipette Brut before, and really liked that one. The question is, is Rosé as good tasting as Brut?
Galipette Rosé (Les Celliers Associés, France):

Nice balance between sweetness and acidity with a hint of harshness as long as the cider remains on the tongue, the flavour fades quickly. No strong fullness, light in body and duration. Easy to drink and probably fits best with lighter dishes, salads, cheese, or on its own.
