| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2009 Courtesy of maniac, my first infused sake, sampled at the end of the Big Brew Day in Beaverdam. Fruity apple aroma. Clear with what honesty looked to be a slight green tint. Flavor was odd, sweet apple with a strange note of rubber. This wasn’t as bad as it would sound, but it was clearly a bit different. But not bad. I suspect that this might be not the most serious sake in the world. dkachur (2425), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 2, 2009 750 mL bottle from Market Street Wineshop and Grocery, downtown location, Charlottesville, VA. Pours nearly clear with the faintest possible greenish tint. Aroma is pure tart green apple candy. Taste is a fresher seeming green apple (not so candy-like) and faint melon, caramel and rice notes. Sweet and sugary all the way through. Full bodied. BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 13, 2008 Bottle: Clear with no legs. Nose of green apple jolly ranchers, fresh pressed cider and some must. The flavor has some koji initially then apple extract, melon and some sweetness take over. Sweet, light body. Little sake if any.
