This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt dark orange color with a thin little white head that quickly dissipated. Carbonation could be seen only hitting the top in some light bubbles.
The smell starts off with fresh green apples. Gin botanicals show their face slightly as it warms. Dried floral leafiness slides in underneath.
The taste was moderately sweet with that gin dryness laying down on my tastebuds. Light fresh sprucy/juniper sort of flavor back it up. There’s no aftertaste nor finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium in body with a decent sipping to sessionable sort of dry sticky feel. Carbonation feels good, semi-light with a clingy bitterness on my tongue.
Overall, as a saison, I can see it, sort of. The gin definitely is there and I’d say it’s good as it’s a nice fresh break up to a Winter season of stouts.
