750ml bottle pours a very hazy orange with some thin, cloudy, white head. Nose has an odd mix of vanilla bean and herbal tea, flower petals, some rose water, some buttery oak. Flavor follows, lots of buttery oak, a little caramel too, some yeasty esters, banana mostly, tea, flowers, some orange pith. Medium bodied, oily finish. A little odd.

From a 22 oz bottle at the DC Pre-Turkey Day Tasting, Novemeber 9, 2014. Courtesy of ??? (not me). Pours a clear gold with an off white head. Cider-like aroma. Floral flavors, but difficult to pinpoint. Crisp finish.

Bottle shared by Iphonephan at DC Pre-Thanksgiving tasting. Poured a golden color with a small off-white head. Aroma was some light funky yeast notes, barnyard. Flavor was about the same, most people didn’t seem to like this one at the tasting. Not bad to me.

Bottle courtesy of iphonephan, thanks! Cloudy pale golden color, thin white head. Aroma of dusty, lightly peppery fruit. Taste has tangy fruit, dusty barnyards. Easy drinking, good stuff.

This should be reserved for sometime in the indefinite future. Perhaps not 2014. Pours hazy orange. A little astringent, maybe barrel and some peel. Weak integration. Bottle.
