The leaves on this are large, vibrant green and mostly whole. The fragrance is clean and very sweet.
When brewed, the fragrance is grass and hops, but there was also an unpleasant very slight bleach-like note. I even did a “do over” on this and had the same result the second time.
In taste, this was light and sweet with a mild and lingering fruit and honey aftertaste. I would have scored this higher if it wasn’t so difficult getting past that off-note on the fragrance.
(Yes, my prep gear was clean and has never been in contact with anything resembling bleach.)
