750ml bottle from Beer Central - Clear yellow body, fizzy white head. Nose is bitter citrus, lots of IPA style hops, and of course gin. Taste is dry, lots of crisp unripe fruit in there too, with a dry gin finish. Not too exciting, but glad I gave it a go.

Bottle at the Pint Shop, Cambridge on 24 November 2013. Poured a hazy dark golden colour with a tight, slightly scummy white head and good lacing. Aroma of toffee, juniper and gentle perfume. Strong, but fine carbonation. Initial flavours of straw, white current and caramel. Delicious and wonderfully rounded palate, with notes of dry grain, chewy malt and definite dry gin.

Bottle share at Kernel big thanks to Paul Scopey. Aroma is honey, malt, nutty, booze, yeast esters and lavender. Golden orange colour with a thin white head and light haze. Flavour is caramel, honey with a touch of juniper, but could easily be imagined. Some gin tartness in the finish. Hides the alcohol pretty well. Herb and light spice. lingering bitterness.

Bottle shared at The Kernel, London - big thanks to Paul R. Pours lightly hazy gold with a creamy, white head. Biscuity, bready malt aroma with soft orange notes. Medium sweet flavor with bread and crackers, light bitter hay. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish with dryish bread, more crackers, light citrus. Very tasty and well balanced.

Bottle picked up by Lorna at Beer Moth. It pours hazy golden amber with a thick white head. The nose is orange peel, sherbet, tangerine, peppery juniper, old tom gin and some light sweetness. The taste is crisp, hay, toast, orange peel, pepper, juniper, floral, decent bitterness and light alcohol with a dry, gin finish. Medium+ body and fine, prickly carbonation. Smells great, but the taste doesn’t quite live up to it. Good fun nonetheless.

Craft Islington. Cask. Light haze on this gold beer, small white head. Smooth palate, semi dry with fine carbonation. Nice marmalade hops, touch of mango. Touch of juniper. Okay malt base. Smooth finish. Like the citrus - gin vibe here, very drinkable.
