Smell: Medium aroma. Dry apple with slightly bright elements. Hint of fermentation.

After Taste: Becomes a little less clean, slightly more earthy. Somewhat long lingering with some buttery elements.
On ice: Flavour reduced but minimal change.

Additional Notes:  The Century Dry by Growers is a very dry offering from Growers, pushing back against their typically more sweet offerings.  This one is very dry, bright and slightly earthy.  Not overly deep in flavour.  Lingers for a while but is somewhat clean.  Slight buttery finish.  Decently crisp with some mild fermentation notes and tannins.
