Dave Broom
- Nose
- Fresh and ‘young'. Lots of green notes - apple and cut grass. A little cream in the background along with wheat chaff and barley sugar.
- Palate
- Lively and effervescent. Dry spices, light sweetness, fresh cereal then simple sugar and a lightly floral centre. Barely touches the tongue.
- Finish
- Short but sweet.
- Comment
- A clean, fresh young mixer.
Rob Allanson
- Nose
- Vibrant, lively and crisp, like slicing into a fresh green apple. Creamy notes too, pouring cream and cornflakes.
- Palate
- Rolls through the mouth swiftly leaving orange sugar-coated fruit jellies. There is a little spicy edge to this as well.
- Finish
- Crisp and short.
- Comment
- One for the summer days, possibly with ginger and ice too.
