“City to FC+: Fruit juice sweetness, apple, white grape, dark sugar.” -Sweet Maria’s
The initial taste has a basic sweetness, with a clean tea-like finish. The body is very light with low acidity, but the mouthfeel has a light juiciness to it.
As the cup cools, the sweetness has increased with a hint of apple, but there is also a light acidity with a grape tartness. The body is still very light, but does maintain a light juiciness, and the finish has developed a syrupy mouthfeel with a subtle dark sugar sweetness that lingers with each sip.
