Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	Light haze. Ripe expression of pineapple leading to a weighty palate with developed tea and dried orange peel notes over a sweet stonefruit base. Controlled use of oxidation for complexity.
Judge 2	Cloudy gold hue. Nose has a little prickle of volatility but not out of balance. Smells like straw submerged in light honey, warm sunlight. Palate has pleasing breadth and interest, is actually pretty well balanced. I don't mind this. Has some compelling interest.
Judge 3	Cloudy pale amber. Herbal and stalky on the nose, palate sweet and stalky. Out of balance, unusual structure, too lean and metallic.
Associate Judge	yellow ; gold. tinned pear, apple, cinnoman. canned dilute peach, syrupy consistency, thick on finis, wheatyh
