Batch 1, bottled late DEC-2018. Almost clear gold, white head with some lacing. The aroma clean and mildly sweet - not like honey, more like generic fruit, cooked fruit. A very faint hint of grassy/woody hop. The taste is medium-dry, again no particular sugar profile, a touch of vegetal acidity, , strong grassy hop bittenrss with just a hint of alcoholic spice. Very clean overall, but lost its early honey / white grape delicacy. 6-4-7-4-14=3,5.
Batch 1 bottled NOV-2018. Slightly hazy bright gold, dense white head. The aroma starts with some fresh (bun mundane) base malts/cereals, but then you get those marvelous Honey and Risling grapes perfume notes - it is not strong, but really nice. The taste is more simple - does not have the honey/white grapes thing (would be a killer if they can get more of those in) - only light balancing pale pale malt sweetness, moderate and smooth but simplistic woody/grassy hop bitterness. And a rather creamy small bubble mouthfeel. It does not have any boozy extra-dry feel that you expect from a high-attenuation fermentable like honey. Super clean and smooth - a good job from a new kid. Very good. 8-4-7-5-15=3,9
