Blind Assessment
Sweetly pungent, quietly complex. Honey, tangerine, dark chocolate, hints of clove and lilac in aroma and cup. Round, backgrounded but vibrant acidity; lightly syrupy, resonant mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates around lingering hints of tangerine and clove in a sweet-toned, balanced finish.
Notes

Who Should Drink It
Quiet but lively acidity and a wide range of appealing aromatics – honey, citrus, chocolate, hints of spice and flowers – make this an appealing rendition of the classic Kona cup.
