Tasting Notes |
Robert Karlsson | Dry maltiness. Cereal, on porridge, all-brans? Some alcohol in here, stings. A bit sweet-sourly. Opens up on fresh fruit with some water. Taste also sweet-sourly, on malt domination. Some citrus, lime perhaps. Some fudge with time. With water considerably more pleasant. Sweeter fruits arrive. Dumps it a few points. |
