When I first saw this can at my local dépanneur, I had to look twice - Gin and Ale together in one. Or was it a gin-drink that was mixed in the beer section ?? Looked quite interesting when I read all the ingredients - loads of spices. Hazy golden colour with a white cap, good stay and lacing. At first pour, smells of dirty-rusty water with spices in the background. The second pour is where it starts getting a little better. Almost more like ginger, but this is not one of the spices in here. The Juniper berries becomes present with a decent balance of the other spices. Feels like there is no alcohol in this one, no warming at all. Wet, a little tarty. An interesting brew that seems like it should kick ass, but it is just average.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy amber color ale with a nice medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light spices and herbs notes with some juniper notes is quite refreshing. Taste is a nice mix between some cereal notes with some residual sugar notes, light herbs and spices notes with some juniper notes and subtle coriander/cinnamon notes also noticeable. Body si full with good carbonation. Original beer and reminiscent of gin notes with good complexity while retaining sufficient drinkability.
