Rekorderlig Wild Berry (pack of 4) (33cl, 4.5%)

A Swedish fruit cider blending fermented apple and pear juice with raspberry and blueberry flavours, brewed by Åbro Bryggeri in Vimmerby. It uses local spring water drawn from a source the brewery has relied on for four generations. The cider is fruit-forward and moderately sweet, with gentle carbonation. It is positioned in the flavoured cider category rather than as a traditional dry farmhouse style. Candied raspberry leads the aroma, followed by softer blueberry and a faint acidic edge. The palate is smooth and approachable, with discernible raspberry and strawberry flavours, blueberry and a berry cream soda quality, balanced by acidity. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering ripe berry fruit and a subtle rhubarb-like tartness.
