On tap at Faculty, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with juniper, smelling just like a gin. Flavour follows as expected, with vert spicy and floral juniper notes dominating. Inoffensive but I just don't like these notes.

Hazy and a bit dull. Lots of gin bursting on the aroma. On the palate the cardamom, juniper and other herbal notes are prominent. They lend quite a bit of bitterness, too, which helps since at 20IBU this isn't particularly well hopped. Nice brew - I can totally dig this.

Draft - Lavender and juniper with some rosemary. Cloudy yellow gold with a decent white head. Bitter and herbal as expected, but a bit messy.
