Nose: bright, almost zesty, light sweet crisp fruit notes with a moderate malt that settles into some slight vanilla and fresh cut straw, spring/summer like. Taste: fruit forward with a hint of honey, light almost white peppery note with a bit of an odd finish that’s slightly bitter. Nothing outstanding, but for the price it’s not a bad budget friendly option to rotate into the cabinet once in awhile. I can see why this should be part of a blend to help elevate it.
