7.5

Very interesting. Clean, crisp melon with grassy undertones leads to a bitter aftertaste. Almost like tasting a forest. The most powerful tones are not necessarily bad, but you end up tasting a bit more than you might have been looking for. Very sharp — 7 years ago

6.1

The base was fine, but the aftertaste was disgusting. I spent the entire glass trying to identify the principal taste to avoid it in the future. The first taste was strangely reminiscent of stringed cucumber but quickly was replaced by something altogether unforgettable and completely regrettable. I will probably try to avoid this brand in the future just in case the flavor slipped into any other varieties, but had previously had a much better experience with the brand’s Demi-sec. Fully agree with Amy’s perspective: kind of skunky. — 7 years ago
