Review by Johannes
Hefe, diskrete gelbe Früchte, leicht Zitrus.
Review by Romain de L
Strange nose : rose and spice, not very pleasant to me. Taste is more classic, with a decent attack. Longer rose like aftertaste. Overall intriguing but avoidable overall beyond the curiosity for something uncommon
Review by BnBrt
On the nose, I have a "lemony rose" sensation (in the manner of lemon verbena). A little attack on the palate, but I can't distinguish any clear aromas.
