Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of raspberry vanilla nougat, vanilla mint cream, proofed bread dough, and sassafras with a round, bright, dry medium body and a tingling, complex, crisp finish conveying notes of raspberry and strawberry nougat, vanilla and honeycomb, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and figs and bitter cocoa nibs. Such a rich and complex sweet wheat aroma and flavor; just yum.
