Nose: a little gravel at first, followed by apples and pears, lime blossom and hints of bread. Hints of barley. After a while the fruitiness gets wider, peach jam on one hand – banana and grapefruit on the other. Water brings out more vanilla and a hint of marshmallow.

Mouth: vibrant fruits again. Peaches, green apples, citrus freshness and juicy pear. Hints of ale, with firm barley notes as well as some spicy heat (ginger, white pepper, later nutmeg). Subtle chalky notes in the middle. Then getting fruitier again, with pineapple, peach and green banana.

Finish: quite long, a little spirity, although water helps to bring back most of the  fruitiness.
