You know that green banana smell, when you break the peel on a still slightly underripe one? That’s the first thing I pick up. There’s a hint of other fruit in there too, but I can’t really place what. I get ripe red bell pepper too. A hint of brown sugar.
There’s a taste of bananas too, and a tingling like chili pepper. Warm brown sugar, and orange zest. Now the nose opens up to caramel, which is on the next sip too. But slightly burnt caramel, with some bitter bite to it.
The finish is astringent, drawing moisture from your lips and cheeks, and tingling still.
The next taste has something reminiscent of Sharpie or Magic Markers, not in a bad way.
Yup, it’s like a slightly burnt, green banana, and Sharpie caramel, and I’m here for it.
