Had a dram tonight that was luscious and totally brilliant – loads of juicy pineapple chunks, mango juice and passion fruit sours, with sharp flecks of kiwi and tangerine zest. There’s a weird waxy feel, almost like oily cereals, and a hint of crushed nettles giving it that green edge. Bits of fruit salad pulp seemed to stick in my gums, leaving a lingering starfruit sweetness. Proper Irish accent in the back, super‑fruity vibe, proper grin 😄

Blimey, this is such a ripper, proper hits different 🥃 The flavour even leaks out the glass before you sip it, got pink bananas upfront straight away, so extravagantly fruity it’s mad, even fruitier than that overripe mango one I had last week, even picks up maracuja and lime zest, plus that Citra hops kick exactly like a fresh IPA. Nose’s got that fresh paint and wax vibe, hint of even ashes and hazelnuts, also that chalk, flints, concrete, clay little stampede, mirrors the palate perfectly y’know? SWMBO thought it’d be heavier but it’s medium bodied, didn’t get that deeper texture I was hoping for but still proper tasty. Aftertaste’s got a nice grassier kick, good as anything, even picks up a touch of white wine freshness as it evaporates off the glass. Proper good drop, reminds me a bit of that terrific Ben Nevis I had last year, deeper sootiness under all the bright fruit too.

Aye, this one's a right fruit bomb! First sip hits you with a proper sharp tang – like pink grapefruit and tangerines got into a tussle with passion fruit sours. Stupidly fruity, it is. There's bits of mango and papaya pulp lingering, almost like fruit salad stuck to your gums, and a weird oily cereal note underneath. The finish has this waxy, starfruit sweetness, but with a nervy edge, sharp flecks of kiwi dancing about. Totally brilliant, though – not too fancy, just proper juicy and bold. Makes me think of those old-school fruit-forward drams, but with a modern kick. Cooleys might've had a hand in this, but who's counting? Just a corking, no-nonsense sip that packs a punch! 🥃

wow, that’s just proper fruity innit? Like someone’s chucked a whole fruit salad in there—pineapple chunks, papaya, even a bit of that tart pink grapefruit zing. And the juice! So luscious, almost like sipping mango juice with a cheeky sharpness from the kiwi flecks. Long finish too, leaves you with that oily cereals warmth but still all about the fruit. Yes! Totally brilliant. 🍍🍈

哇，这杯酒简直像个果园里一场暴雨！第一口是疯狂的热带水果轰炸——熟透的蜜瓜、芒果和柑橘全涌上来，甚至有点像在喝一杯浓稠的果汁。🍊 但它的骨架是奶油般的柔滑，底下藏着一丝油润感，让那些果味不会太轻浮。偶尔会闪过一缕尖锐的柚子或菠萝的酸，但很快又被更甜的果香淹没。 回味超长，嘴里留着木瓜和椰子糖的味道，还有种奇妙的、像被野草轻轻刮过舌尖的微涩感。总之就是…太有趣了，一杯让人忍不住咧嘴笑的酒！😄
