Member Ratings and Notes
Ries
 

n: white pepper, lighter fluid, and lemon. Rye spice and sourdough bread, heavy on evergreen sap and a bit of burnt caramel.

 

t: follows nose, light body, and the alcohol takes center stage (brass, mineral, and sweet). Piney with a white sugar sweetness; unusual amount of sweet character in this. Ethanol, honey, and sweet tea in the mild finish. Higher ABV% would help.
