Very pale. Aroma is light honey, and dried fruits. Taste is very watery, with faint honey notes accompanied by the alcohol. The alcohol does not show it’s face much, but the lack of depth killed it.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle from porterhouse; Thanks Kevin!!! Nose sm4ells like a muscato desert wine, not sweet but yeasty and fruity! Translucent pale yellow with a coating of ultra fine bubbles on the sides of the glass; flavor is dry and semi-sweetwith honey and white grape notes; finish has a tiny bit of alcohol warmth. Could have almost passed as a cross between a chardonnay wine and a junmai sake. Wish this bottle had been the 375ml and the Bartlett Sweet was the 750ml!

Mar 23, 2008 Updated: Mar 24, 2008(750 ml bottle from Lou’s Beverage Barn, cellared for 10 mos. after purchase) Sweet, yeasty and hot!...Pours clear very pale yellow-gold. Very light fine bubbles. Aroma is lightly sweet, a little yeasty, wine-like. Mouthfeel is dry, smooth, light and sticky. Flavor is quite hot right upfront. Sweet but not overly. Has quite a yeasty presence mixed with some earthy and light fruit and honey sweetness. Quite refined. In many ways like a strong white wine or sake. This stuff is quite potent!
