3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 hopscotch (7542) - Vero Beach, USA - JAN 18, 2012
Bottle… Pours crystal clear and colorless with few legs, but those produced are thick and meaty. There’s a lot of floral and fruity stuff going on in the bouquet, but fennel is definitely the star of the olfactory show. Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and no carbonation. The flavor is mostly smooth - just a touch boozy ; grainy and lightly fruity – pear. Finishes lightly bitter and very warming. Bottle courtesy of landhoney!
