Bottle. No head (still). Body is light yellow. Aroma is notes of minerals and lime zest, hints of honey and fusel alcohol. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Medium body, syrupy texture, flat carbonation. A rather simple rendition, though not bad. Sweetness is rather cloying and tooth-aching, though you’d never guess it from the light, Riesling-like aroma.

Tasted at the fifth annual Colorado Wine Tasting Festival in Manitou Springs, CO. Light gold color with faint honey nose. Semi-sweet honey taste.
