330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)<br /> Beautifully deep reddy brown, brief creamy head settles to just a ring. Slightly medicinal aroma, something like syrup of figs perhaps, but also with the sharpness of pine or cedar. Lovely soft palate, soft carbonation. Decent malty body, but there is quite a bit of soap, perhaps even perfumed soap, from the hops. Finish is back to more traditional raw hop flowers. Does not elicit any particularly strong feelings from me - it is flavoursome and pretty drinkable.

Bottle @ LCRBM 08: After watching this beer flood all over Joris it settled to pour a purpleish brown with limited head do the carbonation already exploding. The aroma was wild berries and malt. Taste is juniper and some other spices along with malt.

Bottle @ LCRBM. Massive gusher. Juniper and spices in the aroma. Spicy, but also malty flavor with juniper. Too spicy for me to be enjoyable.

Exploding to no head left (!); deep brown-purple beer. Sweet-fruity, cake- or piecrust nose, alcohol. Very complex, vinous taste, bit of aldehydes, fusels, sparadrap - no doubt the juniper. Medium to well bodied, slick, yet refreshing. Very complex beer, if more fusely than fruity. Bottle fermentation totally out of control. <i> Thanks, Dean! </i>

Bottled - St Albans BF. Lost more than half of it when it gushed. Fortunately they allowed me to pay less than half the price too which doesn’t happen when you buy at a shop. Muddy brown with an off-white head. Fruity malty aroma and taste with added berry fruits in the mouth and a fair dollop of yeastiness. Obvious overcarbonation. Not good on so many levels.
