Thanks Mladen! Shared with the others. Misty dark amber body. Soapy but lovely aroma of blueberry juice. The same, milder, in the taste, light juniper perhaps, light bitterness, slightly on the lean side. Still... damn tasty and I really dug it!

Draught at Craft Beer Festival Graz.
Amber to copper, clear body, with a small, beige head.
Aroma of gin, lots of spices, orange, candies.
Taste follows this, but with the bitter gin more dominant.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes bitter, boozy, spicy, with a lot of gin again.
Good, but not really my cup of tea. Just gin and spices, not much beer character left. Not a beer I would drink again.
