Two samples from bottle at Gladmatfestivalen, Stavanger. Like the "ordinary" Kvestad Issider it is an excellent drink, but is it better? Well, if you like distinct oaky notes and a touch of bourbon added to the concentrated apple sweetness, then it is.

Sample at Gladmatfestivalen, Stavanger. Pale golden colour. Aroma of eating apples. Dry flavour of apples, does not taste as strong as it is, nice enough to drink, but there are many contenders in this field.
