Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Nose of resinous varnish, with strong fruit -- notably canteloupe -- and tobacco hints. Palate enters smooth and easy and sweet, but rich, with more melon in the background. This continues with woody/spicy notes with maybe some tobacco and ginger. The medium-length finish of good, rich spice has slight smoke notes creeping in. Very enjoyable.

Chris

N: Toasted cereal
P: Woody, balanced malt and cereal, slight oiliness
F: Smooth medium short finish

Andy

Honey and nuts. Unsweeted Werther's Originals. Finish is long (enough) but not especially great.

B-/C+

retaste 1/13/15

n: Lemonade.

p: Peppery. Atomic fireball flavor (without the fire). Hint of vanilla.

Fuji

Toasted malts, fruits and a bit floral.

Ries

n: honey on wheat toast, nice inviting malt nose, doublemint gum.

t: honey graham crackers in liquid form. Nice malt quality to this, very sweet and full of golden raisins, butterscotch chews, and a nice touch of spice from the wood. Honey Nut Cheerios in the finish.

I can see why blenders like this. A very safe base malt with a clean honey nose and the taste to match. A bit too standard (boring) for my taste, but it's enjoyable and easy to drink.

B/B-
