Cider & Taste in the Barn

How is the taste of a cider affected when it meets saltiness, acidity, sweetness or umami? Why can the same drink be experienced completely differently depending on what we eat for?

During this tasting, we explore the interaction between cider, must and taste. Through selected tastings and carefully selected drinks, participants will discover how different ingredients change the experience of what is in the glass.

The focus here is on the drink. The taste tests serve as tools to understand the different expressions of cider and must and how food can enhance, change or highlight new aromas.

The tasting includes Forse's own drinks along with selected Swedish ciders showing different styles, traditions and expressions.

The evening is as much a taste journey as a tasting. Here it is not about right or wrong, but about discovering, comparing and finding your own favorites.
