3.75/5  rDev 0%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Pours a flaxen-hued body, a touch of haze and an initially flush, though thinning, whitish head. A few, stray suds glued to the glass as we proceed.

Smell: Sweet-scented, honeyed top note adjoined to a lightly bready maltiness. Fruity flourishes of apple, peach, white grape and orange. Very modest, very soft barrel character with some gin piquancy.

Taste: Slightly bready (even more faintly crackery) pale maltiness topped with a sweetish touch of honey, orange marmalade. Fruity middle of orchard and vineyard offerings with a tangy, twangy, acidic sort of thing (thang). Perceived gin components reminiscent of dried citrus, spice and herb, particularly juniper. The beer retains its opening sweetness and subsequent fruitiness through the finish with an uptick of alcohol warmth on the swallow.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.

Overall: Like the 'inspired-by' Italian sparkling wine, Prosecco, I would have preferred if they had tightened things up and moved its base beer towards being a bit more dry and carbonated. Which is not to say it's lackluster in suds, but, hell, if you're going for the brut style, at least tangentially, then let's GO FOR IT. Right?
