Tasting Notes
Starts sweet and with an intruguing mushroom taste that I really like, mouthfeel is oily „sticky“, malty body and a comfy honey sweetness, barely bitter, no astringency, tastes and feels very soft, qi is not pushy at all, leaves an ethereal impression, after few steeps, the original honey and malt body fades into a thinner, watery texture with a berry-like sweetness, reminiscent of overly-chewed gum losing its flavor. Feels good.
