Medium sweet style that feels imbalanced toward sugary character and compares poorly to similarly priced German bottles.
Candied lemon, apple cider, some odd floral note like elderflower. Some petrol/rubber. Pleasant character but it’s quite sweet and while there’s okay (M to M+) acid, there’s not much of a mineral or salty or herbal character to balance all the candied stuff.
This would do fine with spicy food, especially anything with a raw chili pepper character I think, or even better it wild do well with a citrusy dessert of some sort, but it’s not balanced on its own.
5.2-5.3/10

Apricot and petrol nose
8% abv, 6.75 RS; more approachable than numbers would suggest
