Nose: Initial lemon like zestyness, upon a quick read, i've got Rose, maybe old dried rose, some hops, malty. With water, aromatic perfume like more prevalent

Palate: strong ABV numbs the palate for a moment, bringing some oiliness, the hop somehow lead to this aromatic rose for me. With water, more sweetness prevails, lesser numbness

Finish: Medium Long, lingering sweet malt and hops, very light rose aroma

Score : 87, WB100805

Thank you so much @chengcheekaan for the dram 👍🏻🙏🏻
