Review and Tasting

Sampled on 09/04/2016

Appearance:

Clear, pale golden.

Aroma:

Zesty lime, green apple and floral lily with buttery milk chocolate, light honey, vanilla and fragrant white wine. Biscuity malt emerges with water.

Taste:

Bready malt, salty light smoky bacon oak and rich light honey with sweet green apple, vanilla and subtle black pepper bite. More leathery with water.

Aftertaste:

Salty oak, liquorice, earthy new leather and biscuity malt.

Overall:

Not so sure how much “organic” influences the flavour, but this dry, salty malt is made attractive by bready malt, rich light honey and sweet green apple.
