Alkmene 2020 ist ein dänischer Cider, der die hellen, fröhlichen Aromen der Alkmene-Äpfel zelebriert. Dieser limitierte Cider von To Øl ist eine Hommage an den Frühling und vereint eine einzige Apfelsorte mit einer Kaltmaischung auf Holunderblüten für einen delikaten, blumigen Charakter.
Cracked this open on a sunny afternoon and the single-variety Alkmene apples really come through — bright, crisp, and almost floral. It's a limited release, so I'm already wishing I'd grabbed a second bottle while it was available.
The apple flavor here is surprisingly delicate, not tart like most ciders, and it finishes incredibly clean. I grabbed a bottle to celebrate the first warm day and it nailed that fresh, spring feeling perfectly. If you can still find it, it’s worth trying before it’s gone.
Opened this on a sunny afternoon and the cold fermentation really lets the single Alkmene apple shine through—crisp, bright, and not too sweet. It's a limited release so I'm already sad I only grabbed two bottles, but that first sip was pure spring.
