What Our Editors Thought
“Lightly funky baking-apple notes in the nose balance with a bit of apple skin and sweeter apple-juice aroma. Broadly sweet in the sip, with some punchy oak-like tannins and peach skin. Big and sweet yet quirky. Finishes with a light chalkiness that dries it out.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Ripe-apple aroma with a touch of floral and spice, some funk. Surprisingly sweet given the nose. A solid acid punch. Medium tannins. Refined finish. Caramel notes with an aged, sherry-like character.”
What the Brewers Say
“Wonderful acidity, smooth tannins, light molasses, raisin, caramel notes. Fresh-apple aroma.”
