The production of Crown Cider (Krunesider) is built upon the tradition of cider production which has existed in the Hardanger region of Norway since Cistercian monks first planted apple trees in Hardanger in the thirteenth century. Kalfarets Kultur AS is furthering this tradition in the mountain caverns located at Kalfaret in Bergen, which were once used by Hansa Brewery. In this way, Kalfarets Kultur AS has created a Cava culture in Norway, not to mention a Norwegian version of Champagne. While the Catalonians and the French use grapes, Kalfarets Kultur AS press Hardanger apples which are hand-picked in the most beautiful and pure orchards in Norway. Bottle-fermented, natural sparkling, made from hand-pressed apples. No preservatives or other artificial ingredients are added.

    Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

    750 ml corked "champagne" bottle. Vintage 2003. As far as I know, this is the only commercially produced craft cider from Norway (the other Norwegian "ciders" are more or less industrial alcopops made with a little apple or pear juice). Very expensive (NOK 145 at Vinmonopolet). Pours very fizzy (strong natural carbonation), no lasting head, carbonation dies out quickly. Pale yellow colour. Aroma of fresh and fermenting apples, notes of oak and apple cider vinegar. Flavour is sweet (too sweet) and alcoholic, notes of oak and vinegar, hints of spices. One small glass is enough. Apparently the 3 apple varieties used (Aroma, Gravenstein and Torstein, all good to eat) are not ideal for cider production. Overall disappointing. Will not buy again.
