Sunday, December 3, 2023 - Ludes Horizontal (Detroit): 8% abv. AP 7. NOSE: I imagine this is some maniacal plot to rehabilitate the smell of Palmolive as it was circa 1975. Sturdy and unbounded, launched, scented impressions of mints, laurels, fennel, limoncello, ginger, and jagged, mythical slices of apple and pear. MOUTH: it rinses in due haste. Bony, fluid rock and quenched steel carry the action forward. Clarity. Geological transparency. Lilting, weightless, dry puffs of strawberry frosting intersect with herbal cigarettes, and cold ink on rag paper. How will this fill in? Where is the tension, and will it unspool over time?
________
Drinking it 24 hours later, I notice how distinctively pale and washed is the flavor. This vacancy allows room for startling launch of translucent floral sweetness. Translucent, I tells ya.
