It's passed its prime for sure, aromas of bruised apples and pears, but it's flavor is still hanging on for dear life.

Fruit and a decent hit of brine on the nose. Taste is citrus and melon with a full, thick mouthfeel. More sour/tart like vinegar than bitter like grapefruit, which is to my preference. Surprising and fun to drink.
