Flight-sized sample with my wife at the meadery, April '19. Cloudy yellow, still. Smells of savory ginger. Chili. Food. Vinegary, very yeasty, ginger, twang. Off-putting yeast made this very difficult. The idea was good.

Sampled at the meadery with the wife, April '19. One ounce flight-sized pour. Love grapefruit, had no choice. Cloudy yellow, still. Smells of lemon, soap & candied white grapefruit as named. Taste is tart candied lemon, flowery/waxy honey. Creamy yeast, soap. Mixed emotions. It was okay, but not as good as I was hoping.
