Alkmene 2020 är en dansk cider som hyllar de ljusa, glada smakerna från Alkmene-äpplen. Denna begränsade upplaga från To Øl är en hyllning till våren, där en enda äppelsort blandas med en kall maceration på fläderblommor för en delikat, blommig karaktär.
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.
