White gummi bear on the nose. Little pungency and some weird mineral notes. Unripe pineapple. Little bit of green pepper and unripe cloying pineapple.

16/20 (88/100) Аромат с нотами сушеных яблок, липового чая, цедры лимона и сливочной помадки. Довольно тельное с умеренной кислотностью. Тона болгарского перца проявляются во вкусе.

Smooth white, easy to drink, but a touch too sweet. Enjoy cold!

Smells amazing, but sharp to taste. Fruity, but acidic. Smells a lot better than it tastes. Will get your drunk quickly.

Had similarities to SB's I'm familiar with; but really uniquely on its own. Maybe a newer vintage would've been better?
