Smoothly dry whiskey-daubed bourbon and rye spirits perk up stylish mossy peat earthiness and light oaken vanilla tannins as faraway apple-skinned cherry tartness emerges.

Richly creamed sugary soda pop, hard-candied Strawberry Patch confection or jellied donut alternative? Strawberry pureed cake batter and bittersweet vanilla beans seep into brown-sugared pie crust given proper phenol hop astringency. Tangy ambrosial melange of cherry pie, lemon meringue, orange cake and peach cobbler make superb auxiliary for dandy strawberry elixir.
Soft-toned New Zealand hop-influenced Imperial IPA utilizes Cryo Citra-hopped Sauvignon Blanc grape must to gleamingly tweak brisk yellow grapefruit-seeded lemon zesting, sweet orange peel tanginess and light floral spicing. Distant ‘mango, lychee, peach and nectarine’ illusions punctuate the sweet end while tart lemon verbena piquancy slips thru lightly vanilla creamed oated wheat sugaring. Superb!
