That’s some apropos naming right there. You got some green apple rounded out with pears and like a squeeze of pomelo. Take all that and dunk slab of metal and a granite flint with just the right touch of petrol to fire off those taste buds. I imagine this would taste amazing as a an accompaniment to shrooms. I mean I wouldn’t know...

Beautiful lemon color. Dry, med+ acidity, med body, petrol, cream, lemon custard, blossom, unripe peach, nectarine, lime zest. Med finish.
