Member Ratings and Notes

Sku

This has a very fruity nose with pears. The palate is malty/spicy with some sweetness. There's a nice balance between the sweet and spicy notes. The finish is a peppery white wine, like a Gerwurztraminer. I really like this one. It's sugar and spice and everything nice.

B/B+

Andy

n: Anne Smith's fruit salad, even down to the marachino cherries cut in half and an overabundance of sugar to appease her finicky son. (thanks mom).

p: Fermented white fruit with a dash of pepper. Sour watermelon candy for just the first brief second. Finish seems to get more intense in raw heat.

Water: Wow, takes a lot to tame. Leans a little more toward musty vanilla with H2O added.

B/B+

Dan

Pale yellow. Sweet nose with tropical fruit and flowers. Falls a little flat. Sweet malt, easy drinker. Back-end bitterness. [2/28/15]

Ries

n: soft oak, spiced figs, vanilla wafers; nice gentle spice.

t: hot honeysuckle and clover honey, dried pineapple rings. Very delicate but floral with a sweet edge. Spice and oak in the hot finish.

very solid B.
