REVIEW:
- Rating*: 4
- Nose: Fresh, fruity, and clean malt aromas with notes of citrus, lemon zest, vanilla, and tea biscuits. Hints of ripe nectarine, fresh-cut apples, and toffee.
- Palate: Light-bodied, floral, and clean with noticeable vanilla, coffee-and-cream, baked banana bread, and cooked cereal maltiness.
- Finish: A long, but mild finish that leaves a clean aftertaste of light citrus, candied orange peel, and then vanilla cake, peach cobbler, and malt.
