3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 tmoreau (1268) - Lombard, Illinois, USA - OCT 2, 2009
Sampled at a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting by Binny’s Beverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. Poured to my wine/sampler glass a hazy, orangy straw color with a white, foamy head and clingy, web-like lacing. The aroma was light yeast, sweet white wine, apple and pear. The flavor added some smooth malt, sweetness, lurking alcohol warmth, lively carbonation, prickly mouthfeel and a dry finish. Very nice

330 ml bottle @ Kaisla, Helsinki. Hazy golden to amber colour with creamy white head. Sweet scent consisting of hints of flowers and fruits. Sweetish, yet dry taste. Alcohol is easily distinguishable. Citric notes in the aftertaste. Delightful, but not one of the very best.
