gold blond sparkling body with a white head a spicy fruity aroma a spicy fruity bitter taste with a bitter finish

This corked and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy with a frothy top fine to medium sized white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy typically carbonated yellow colored body. The mild aroma was malty. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a bubbly aftertaste. The weak flavor contained notes of fruity. An OK brew just nothing special. Too gassy, it gave me the burps.

(bottle - corked & caged 750 ml) Hazy gold with a fizzy white head. Aroma is spicy and sweet with a very herbal note as well. You can really smell the juniper. Flavor is very herbal. All you can really taste is the juniper. If you like that flavor, you’ll love this. I’m not that huge a fan.

33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Hazy gold with some white floaters, thickish rocky head. You can smell the extra juniper flavouring from about 2 feet away. It does smell like a gin and tonic. It’s an odd combo really. Juniper and beer. Not as awful as I first feared, but not something I would probably seek out again. It’s ok
