  March 19, 2023 - So pretty it's unfair. Sitting there like a lil' firecracker pumpkin ale in a burnt orange sun.
  
  Thin, but chewy. Jammy fruit, spice, and pretty florals. Apricot marmalade peppered with cinnamon dust and nutmeg, brittle butterscotch and rose water.
  
  For when anyone's wine bored or needs convincing that Orange isn't all sour stale mimosa.

  September 28, 2020 - - Yellow brown color with slow forming legs and aromas of apricot, peach, honey and orange blossom. It's balanced and has flavours of peach with a light/medium body. Round texture with a long finish.

  August 8, 2020 - This is a lovely wine. It shows balance, acid and fruit. The skin contact renders a stunning color but does not overwhelm the wine itself. I will look to purchase current vintage.

  December 29, 2019 - This style of wine isn’t my thing and pretty mediocre IMO, but Bea of course makes it work. It’s got some of the wax and nuts, definite oxidative notes, but there is a strong core of florals and something resembling fruit and sweet. Dried apricots or dried orange. The acid and cut slice through the normally fuzzy nose and palate. Great cut and so lively. Savory with hints of sweetness and fruit. Excellent balance, potency and persistence. Lots of florals, some spice, dried fruit. The mouthfeel is so much better than pretty much any natural/orange wine. There is a nice acidic core along w the usual ox notes. Nuts come out more in the finish. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 4.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15.5/20.
