Purchased at McMenamins Edgefield because I wanted to try one of their spirits and the bottle was small enough for low committment. Didn’t see the flavor description until I tasted it and the hopps were very apparent. I liked it a lot because its a unique combo of sweet, bitter, and a little sour. But I have been looking for that combo since I tried it from Corsair. I think Corsair was better but this was really nice and unique.

Light sweet aroma, I can tell the hops are in there. There's a tangy sweetness too, almost like tequila. Lots of flavors going on, vanilla and baking spices, and a citrus hoppy tail.
Notes of fermented apple and hops, rough honey cinnamon taste, not a fan of the overall experience
Honey, hops and harsh, lucky it was only a small bottle as this was terrible.
I haven’t been able to find this anymore but was good while it lasted.
STRONG citrus scent but none in the taste…heavy in honey and caramel
