Helionova name was inspired by heliotropin plants, which can be interpreted as "turns towards the sun". Nova as "new". The heliotropin plant is toxic, so heavy regulations and framework for obtaining it made me drop it. The scent is powdery, almondy, vanillin-like, and I've acquired tonka beans instead, which can be used within limitations to reach similiar aroma profile. Going to work nicely with the honey-based wine.
Middle one is just samurai-typed logos in tiki-totem vibes and the final one is my favourite. 8% abv, small can size, cool name along with tropical graphics makes you wanna think caribbean warm spices, aromatic ginger, smoke, cacao... All those went into the alcoholic extract, which inturn was used to spike up the abv towards aperitif levels. Somehow this turned out to resemble the exact copy of that early 2000's pink bubble gum candy you pulled out of the small measuring-tape-like box. Funny, but not really palatable. I dropped the recipe since, but took new xp.
Have a nice day everyone,
