May 9, 2019 (edited February 10, 2020)
Nose - Honeyed apples & pears, orange zest, caramel, golden raisins, baked green apples
Taste - Very thin, sweet lightly bitter pressed apple juice, skin, stems & all, light vanilla frosting sweet, watered down honey, orange pith bitterness
Finish - Lingering light tingle, fruity apple stem bitterness, orange pith bitter
Score - 70/100
Final Thoughts - Great nose on this one but after it hits the palate everything changes. It has pleasant flavors, but it's quite thin & there's this overall fruity bitterness that's very distracting. Instead of complementing the other flavors, it's the dominant flavor and all you get from start to finish on the palate is this fruity bitterness that seems like they tried to mask it by watering it down as much as they could.

Would I specifically order it? - No
