This claims to be a "traditional farmhouse cider". I guess it means farmhousey, not-so-clean flavors. Let's see. The hue is transparent, pale gold. Sparkling carbonation kicks off a fluffy head that reaches two fingers but melts rushedly to a thin lace ring on the surface. Natural apple mash, apple peel, faint pear and a hint of wild yeast emanate to my nostrils. Promising! Okay, indeed, not so clean flavors... I pick natural sour apple mash and apple peel, even marginally stale. Or is it mold? It doesn't taste like mold though. Or acetaldehyde? Green apple is obvious in the palate, can't tell though if it's an off-flavor or an ingredient since this is a dry apple cider anyway. An alcoholic vibe enters the scene right thereafter. The finish gives light-sour apple mash, especially green apple, acetaldehyde, apple peel and yeast. Wild? Probably not. It's not funky. The mouthfeel is light to light-medium, sparkling, a bit stale, juicy, gardeny and autumnal. It's also earthy and farmhousey, somewhat tart, dry and drying. And slightly alcoholic. Interesting for sure. Not necessarily entirely clean, may portray off-flavors. Not sure though. Difficult to rate, not exactly my favorite.

Mustaherukkamehua alkoholilla ja kuplilla.

Illan päätös💫. Tämänkin hörppinyt aikaa ennen Pinttii, nyt tehdään tästä virallista. Oli sitä mitä pitikin, valkoherukkainen ja kuiva🤌🏻

Tuoksussa reilusti mustaherukkaa, maussa reilusti vähemmän. Kuivahko ja raikas.

Kuivahko ja kivan herukkaisen hapokas.

Clear, straw cider with a pure white, silky head that grows half a finger tall. Long retention. Semisweet apple juice comes forward in the scent. It's natural, as if picked straight from the garden. Pear accompanies. The taste follows along the same lines with semisweet apple juice. A small injection of yeast can also be spotted but pear is absent. Good, there is no pear here. The mouthfeel is light, juicy, gardeny, natural, clean and lip-glueing. Excellent in its own [semisweet] genre.

Clear crimson cider pours in the glass. Sparkling carbonation pops up a hasty head that rushes to die. Still, a hair-thin lace ring floats on the sides for longer. The scent gives blackcurrant jam with a vinous twist. That's it. I don't expect the palate to offer too many components either. Ok, what do I pick? Medium-sweet blackcurrant juice dominates, not really jam-like this time. The vinous suggestion is truly vague, not white or red wine, rather fruit wine. Well whatever. The mouthfeel is light, substantially juicy, rich in berries, natural, gardeny, even soft-drink-like. Glues lips. Hmmm... I wonder how this would behave with less sugar...

This cider colors lucid straw. Somewhat like sparkling wine. Carbonation, again, is spritzy and not too long-lasting. Whitecurrant is evident in the air. As if also semisweet apple mash could be observed there. The flavor package offers massive, though still refreshing whitecurrant juice. Distantly like semidry berry wine. Somewhat sweeter than the apple cider but still definitely not sweet. No yeast spotted. The mouthfeel is light, refreshing, juicy, relatively soft and smooth, as well. Unique. Merely marginally vinous though. Damn good this one!  💛🤍

First time in this local place. Beautiful. Rustic. The restaurant serves nice burgers, now a halloumi version for me. Limpid, deep gold is the color. Spritzy, long-lived carbonation. The head is restrained though. The scent offers sour apple. Full and very natural. Promises a lot. The taste sort of follows suit but not 100% precisely though. Sour apple is ample, extraordinarily natural of course. Faint yeast too. Love the supply, it's very simple and ungimmicky. Feels light, zesty, pulpy, natural, acidic, seriously dry and drying. However, it's not very spritzy. Attractive!
