Pours gold and smells of ripe apples and cherries. The flavor is sweet and mostly of ripe apples. It’s sweet without seeming sugary as it’s more a rich apple flavor with a touch of tartness. Very nice.

375 mL bottle, 10/19/22. Can’t recall where I got it. Looks like it was bottled may of 2017, so, I wasn’t even a lawyer yet when I’m almost hitting my 3.5 year anniversary as a practicing lawyer. Well aged. Me, not so much. Clear amber, thin head, poor retention. Aroma of red wine, honey. Taste is honey, red wine, vanilla, oak, jammy grape. The wine maybe dominates the honey a bit too much, but, overall pretty nice.

12oz single from 604. Only 5.8% ABV. Stemless wine glass @home. Cherry on amber, clear pour; lacy. Chem-y, deep cherry, skin, earthy black cherry, maybe too cold to get more out of it. Sweet, deep, somewhat medicinal cherry with bitter lime. Lingering decadent cherry skin. Really good cherry but I can't get any honey character out it. Lime pith finish. More like a cider or alcopop. Needs another note or two. Thin, decently tart, not very acidic, boozier than list, a touch numbing. Better than expected.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2022. Pours a clear extremely pale gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of candied peach supported by creamy sweet honey. Flavor is straight candied peach with sweet honey backing.
