Pale straw color.
Fresh apple smell, peach / apricot, melon, delightful diesel exhaust stink. 
Rich dry apple / melon flavors, at its best with richer food.  Somewhat petillant on the tongue.
A good light-to-medium-bodied bottle for $14.99. I note that, in general, an Austrian Riesling Federspiel is a more serious wine than a German Riesling Kabinett, though the must-weights are similar.  I speculate that the 1985 Austrian wine scandal wound up ruining the market for inexpensive sweet or off-dry Austrian wine just when world tastes turned towards drier wine.
