Neil Coe 4.3 July 2019

Medium rich, with orange peel being the primary flavor. A nice, subtle spice on the finish complements the citrus beautifully.

How the score is built

4.25 is the plain average of 1 review.

The 3.77 score we rank by pulls that average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
