0.75 l bottle at PBF. Slightly hazy deep golden color. Sweet, honeyish, herbal, acetic and musty aroma. Sweet honeyish flavor with medium bitterness, some campher like spiciness and hint of acetic acid. Mouthfeel is a bit sticky. I don’t like the acetic aroma but there are some nice spicy notes in the flavor.
