Walking a tightrope getting all the different adjuncts to adhere correctly makes this affluent wheat wine a durable recreational hybrid (with hidden 10% abv). “Brewed with spices,” its toasted black cardamom seasoning and black peppercorn snip provide a rice-wined sake affect before settling into oaken vanilla midst. Herbal Sauvignon tropicalia and creamy Chardonnay buttering tease the palate before honeyed nectar sweetens its dainty hibiscus-lotus-dandelion florality. Subtle smoked wheat tangent underscores dry alfalfa, whey and sorghum graining as well as grouty hop gunk.
