Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Judge 1	Cooked fruit characters, tropical and bananas with pineapples. Slow ferment or a touch to warm? Elevated sweetness to compensate fruit leaves it unbalanced
Judge 2	Dissolved CO2. Fragrant and lifted. Fresh ginger/red apple skin/musk. Textured and balanced palate - lots of impact, a little RS and a fair amount of phenolic chalkiness. Falls away a little on the finish but attractive.
Judge 3	True Gewürz floral; musk; rose water...well framed and poised, mid palate sweetness also true to style. Viscous. Tease of spice. Alsace.
Associate Judge	bright straw, bright citrus style, sweet candied overtones, off dry in style, lime cordial/sorbet character, light spice complexity.
