Overall Score 88
Judge 1 Hazy unfiltered. Forward flavours of lemon honey ginger, quite upfront and accessible with a delicate sweetness which lingers. Fresh and vibrant.
Judge 2 Cloudy middling yellow hue. Nose is somewhat leesy cheesy, then some dried pineapple pieces for yellow fruits. Quite sweetly fruited on the palate, I'd almost think RS but it's cloudy, so I cannot imagine it's not dry. So plenty of sweet stone fruit flesh, dried peach etc. Interesting style done well I think.
Judge 3 Cloudy pale to medium gold. Light marmalade/honey & ginger plant aromas, sweet fruit palate - lots of love there but lacking in refreshing acidity to cleanse and uplift.
Associate Judge hazy, pale gold. apple-pear skin, nashi, underripe apricot. peanut shells, almond paste, thick through mid, touch cloying
