Nose: Green apples, almonds, passionfruit, vanilla sponge, honey, hints of ginger.

Tasting:  Sour bitter. Almonds, passionfruit, barley sugar, green apples, malted grains, green tea, hints of vanilla sponge. 
Finish: Short. Vanilla, barley sugar, malted grains, ginger. 

Comments: 

Tart and light, lots of nice green apple notes. It’s got a bit of a tannic note hovering in the back, but this fades to sweet barley sugar on the finish. Rather pleasant.

Verdict:

I like this.
