Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of canned pears, pineapple juice, candied grapefruit, and elderflower with a glycerous, crisp, fruity medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish with notes of canned fruit cocktail juice, candied white flowers, and sugared grapefruit. Fruity and floral with a mild candied bitterness to balance the fruit and residual sugar; exactly what it is supposed to be.
