Pale peach and gold in color. Numerous medium to large bubbles. Mild nose that is fruit forward. Medium bodied and off-dry. The aggressive bubbles immediately dance on the tongue. Palate is a strawberry, pear, and lime. A hint of yeast and almonds are present on the mid-palate and finish. Medium-length crisp finish of toast, strawberries, lime, and mineral. Very refreshing, uplifting, and light.
This is constantly one of my favorite bubbles for a warm day with cheeses.

Same color as the brut. The nose is kind of beer-y, rather than pastry. Almost like a sourdough starter. It's not unpleasant, but it is a little odd. There is also some strawberry/red fruit. It's thick on the palate--think strawberry smoothie. About as sweet as the rose, but it's a bit less obvious about it. I would still like a bit more acidity.

OK for the price. Nothing particularly distinctive but no flaws either.

Solid & fun to try but no need to reload in a hurry. Decent value at $19.
