Cider review: Somersby Apple Cider (4.5% Denmark/Finland: Carlsberg/Sinebrychoff)



Somersby is among the ten biggest cider brands in the world. Somersby Apple is a sweet apple cider and is originally a brand of the Danish beer company Carlsberg but is brewed for the Finnish markets by Sinebrychoff. Since Somersby is the child of the gigantic Carlsberg corporation, one can expect no home-made qualities from the cider. However, considering the fact that it is among the ten biggest cider brands in the world, the flavor is surprisingly natural. Somersby prides itself in containing only natural flavors and receiving its sweetness from sugar.

Taste: More sour than the pear version of the cider, yet still quite sweet. Refreshing and surprisingly natural considering the bulk nature of the product. Reminiscent of apple juice, although definitely not of home-made one.

Overall, Somersby Apple Cider is a good choice for inebriation purposes for those who prefer the taste of cider over beer. It stands out positively among the selection of bulk ciders in Finnish supermarkets but can't compete with ciders of smaller producers. For connoisseurs it does not offer any exciting taste experiences. More drinkable in large quantities than the pear version, since the apple version is not as sweet.
