Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of caramel marshmallow chocolates, coconut and dill, balsa, and banana bread with a round, lively, off-dry medium body and a complex, medium-length finish displaying shades of vanilla and smores, gingerbread, coconut cream, and flowers and pickling spices. Herbaceous and inviting and rich yet lively on the palate; lovely.
