"...America hop bitterness shows that it is going to be the dominant one. The rustic hops play with the malt a bit letting them show malt sweetness and a hint of nutty/biscuity malt upon the tongue..."

"...Nutty doughy malt, moderate body shows some chewy malt. Dodgy hop bitterness comes through at the end with a big, but proportionate, puckering piney citrus flavour. Hints are caramel and earth as well..."

"Pale golden silver color. Aromas of cherry-date bread, floral honey, passion fruit and peppery spices follow through on a round mellow entry to a dryish medium-to-full body with great integration an balance. Finishes with suede and spicy caramelized nut notes on the wet stone and pewter accented fade. Nice range of fruity agave and earthy flavors in a smooth mellow frame."

"Medium full body. Dry. Reminiscent of mint, wet stone, charcoal. Rich, mellow texture. On the palate there is a fascinating hot/cold sensation, aided by strong herbal components. Deep, strong finish is proof of the high proof."

"Ripe tropical fruits—pineapple and ripe melon—with hints of butterscotch. An approachable and full-bodied Chardonnay that shows great length and persistence. Ripe stone fruit, butterscotch, and citrus characters show through well, in a style uncluttered by oak. A great match for seafood, white meats, and fusion cuisine."

"A rich bouquet of peach pie and kumquats, a full mouthful of flavor with ripe stone fruit, bright Bartlett pear and crème fraîche. The texture is soft, round, smooth and succulent with hints of sweet oak, and a nice, long, beckoning finish."

Amber with a deep copper cast. Moderately full bodied. Reminiscent of stone fruits, flan, herbs. Thick texture. Very viscous, with a rich silky feel that is delightful! Quite pronounced in its fruity components. Unctuous big finish.
