Nose
very fresh and fruity with hints of lemongrass, grain cookies, apples, strawberries and hazelnuts. Then some banana and overripe melon.
Palate
sweet malt, sufficiently fruity, spicy on pepper and ginger. Hints of nuts in the background, maybe even some chocolate.
Finish
fairly short and offers nothing new.
