Can from 604. Goblet @home. Dirty lemon iced tea pour. Touch of lace. Lots of cinnamon, lots of ginger, tea & honey. Tart, sweet lemon tea clone with dusty cinnamon, candied ginger & very faint vanilla. Dusty, sharp, oily, thin. Not terrible.

Can from 604. Goblet @home. Disappointing, clear, golden active pour. Was hoping for a more obvious sherbet look. Canned 9/2/22. Smell is mandarin & malic acid. Sorta smells like Fanta orange soda. Taste is apple cider mixed with Fanta orange. Vanilla sugar with some lime on the finish. Sulfite headache. Syrupy, malic, slightly artificial, whatever abv. Meh.

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.
