The smell! Vanilla, baked goods, pie. The taste is definitely rye forward.

Very good honey notes here!

Light and easy

OVERALL: Very unusual and a refreshing change; the high ABV saves this one from being sour apple fruit juice. Weighted score 6.8/10 COLOUR: Very light yellow; Ardbeg -1. LEGS: Very thick clothesline; medium-slow to develop; a few big drops are slow to fall; then the rest fall very very slowly; this portends a viscous mouth-feel. NOSE: Delicate; very citrus and sour apple; like your juice mackintosh apple slices are soaking in lemon juice; a bit of dry grassy meadow; predominantly sour. Score 6/10 TASTE: Oily; dry; very sugary sweet; moderate alcohol kick; candy apples; sweet and tart at the same time; a little saltiness near the end. Score 7/10 FINISH: Long and lingering alcohol bite; warming and drying. Score 8/10 IMAGERY: Laying in the field beside the apple orchard on a hot late summer day; rotting apples on the ground; birds and bees flying by overhead.

There’s a cereal maltiness on the nose, along with notes of cola and lemon. The arrival is a little sharp but there’s an interesting sweet and sour element with a tartness that’s appealing. Orange peel and baking spices emerge in the development, and a there’s a medium finish with a lingering sweetness.
