Canned. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity, some parfumed soap with mild sulphur elements. Flavour is flora, some parfumed soap and mild herbal notes. Quite strange soapy and harsh bittery elements to it.

Quit strange. Clear golden color and a white head. Nice juniper, herbals, dominant gin flavors. Hoppy finish and rather dry.

Can @ Hen Orsaf, Aberystwyth. Lighter glowing amber with a thin bubbly head. Its gin influence is evident, and it is a dry one. Behind this it is mild, not so evident hoppy-sweetness.

330ml can from Stori, Bala. Pours gold, small receding white head. Aroma has herbal, spicy hints. Taste bears some initial faint herbal gin-like notes but rapidly disappears leaving a vegetal, herbal mess with nothing really to mop it up. Not great.

Can 330ml (Ales by Mail)
Golden colour, small white head. Very light herbal nose with light sweetness. Light-bodied. Yes, it has juniper. Palate is tonic-like. It is also very much like water. Gin Lame.

Can from Asda. Golden in colour, with a billowy white head and plenty of carbonation. Aroma of juniper berries, green herbs and sharp lemon, with a touch of leafy hop. Flavour had more lemon, coriander and juniper, leading to a dryish finish. A decent enough novelty beer.
