Fruity, chemical, and sweet on the nose, like chewing gum or lemon soda. The taste is similar, but the baijiu base is already present. It has a strong alcoholic finish, and it would be fine if it weren't for that. It's drinkable, and even enjoyable, but it's nowhere near Maotai.

I would describe it as semi-dry, but it's close to semi-sweet. It's a good balance.
On the nose, it's ricey, floral, and fresh. The taste is very mild, like fruity water with more red berries, also floral, but the spirit of sake is present. The finish is predictably zero. It's a pleasant aperitif, and I have nothing bad to say about it.
