330ml bottle. Clear golden colour with small to average, frothy to macropore, collapsing, white head. Moderately sweet, spicy, scented aroma with notes of clove, thyme, rosemary. Taste is initially moderately sweet and spicy with predominating notes of clove, more dry and herbal in the middle part, later with reoccuring honey sweetness and matching notes of clove, thyme and rosemary. Well balanced composition of herbal and spicy ingredients; nevertheless a taste I would prefer e.g. as roast lamb sauce or marinade, but not in this amounts as beverage.
