I paid more attention to the finish on this one. The start was better than the finish: malted sweetness first, then the finish disappeared quickly. Some good points, though the balance didn't fully work for me.

I tried Discovery Elite twice before settling on a rating. It opened with vanilla note, then moved into soft fruit without losing balance. It was gone faster than I expected, which says enough.
fruity - smooth - smokyDiscovery Elite was part of dinner with friends. The soft fruit worked well, especially with a splash of soda; still, it felt thinner than I expected. Not perfect, but it worked well for me.
