Bottle courtesy of Linus. Tried batch 1 & batch 2 side by side. Hazy yellow pour with a frothy white head. Fruity nose with cracker malts, lemon juice, dish soap (b1), white grapes, dry wood, dried juniper berries (b2), light funk & citrus zest. Sour, fruity & spicy taste. Dry & slightly tart mouthfeel. Batch 2 which I prefered was cleaner with more gin character. Quite nice! Refreshing beermonade. --- Beer merged from original tick of Experimentalis - Meyer Lemons (Ransom Spirits Pinot Noir/Gin Barrel) on 22 Jul 2016 at 18:56 - Score: 7.

Cleaner lemon fruitiness. Heavier gin character with plenty of juniper. G&T beermonade. Love it!

Bottle thanks to Reynolds314. Pours hazy golden, medium white head, dissipates fairly quickly to a bubbly ring and good lacing. Aroma is oaky, barnyard, lemon zest. Flavor is dry, light plus tart, light funk, minerals, some juniper and gin notes apparent. Light bodied, drinkable but to overly complex.
