I unintentionally neglected my ripes for quite a while and have spent some time recently trying to drink them more. Last time I had this one, gave it a wash and a long rest before moving on to proper steeps.
Produced a nice, red liquor to start that gradually deepened, and started out light, clean and sweet in the first steep.
Developed a bit of viscosity and remained fairly mellow in flavor overall. I didn’t get pulled into this one enough to take super detailed notes, but it was easy to enjoy.
Flavors: Smooth, Sweet, Wet Earth
