Surprisingly alive and balanced! Overripe fleshy pineapple, mango, & banana followed by waves of vanilla bean, buttered popcorn, & butterscotch. Not generally a fan of this style but this one balances acid, fruit, and that creamy, rich, butter every mom likes. Well made, and drinks above its $.

Jolly rancher on the nose. Buttery apricot on the palate. I will concede that it went well with the truffled potato leek soup.

Bland with no personality. Banana, caramel, and heavy cream notes. Somewhat bitter. No citrus notes like they claim.
