The aroma of the brew is sweet and rounded. Its has floral notes that are like rose hips and blossoms of plums or cherries.
The First quaff is just like the aroma but the blossoms are more of cherries or Black Current, and Plum along with citrus notes of Pomelo or white grapefruit, there is a back note of earthy tones and faint cinnamon.
