Slightly floral and fruity on the nose, with a bit of savory orange peel and lime peel, plus hints of melon and peaches. The flavor is simple, with a sweetness that's hard to pin down, leading to a bitter, astringent finish. The flavor profile is almost like banana-flavored candy. Much better enjoyed in a highball with fresh fruit juice
