Bottle. Amber beer with a cream head. Lime and tart aroma. Oak and lime flavor with gin. Medium bodied. Lemon and lime linger with gin and light oak.

On tap at Fakin Craft Bar, Zagreb. Hazy golden, small creamy off-white head. Fruit, ripe fruit, stone fruit, apricot, peach, some cardboard, some acidity, very little alcohol. Some candy, some herbs, some pear. Flavour is sugary fruity candy, slightly harsh, somewhat astringent. Some alcohol. Seems like a strong cocktail, more than a sour.

Bottle from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours copper with a foamy yellowish/beige head. Gin and citrus waft from the pour. Med plus body. Flavor is gin and citrus with some musty wood - must have been oldish barrels. I'll call it gin tinged American Strong Ale. Yes, it has a sourish/citrus aspect, but I'll do it my way. It is not entirely dry - heavy malt at first quaff and not hoppily bitter. But it is growing on me - I'll rate it without regard to beer rules - purely on hedonistics. Gin is very hedonistic.

Light haze, and no head. Kettle sour nose, with lots of herbal gin aroma. Soft, tart and kind of a harsh boozy barrel character. Not balanced.
