Appearance: A very opaque white straw colour with a thick but short lived white head.
Aroma: Very bready with some gin and cranberry like notes.
Flavour: Lots of juniper on the front followed by a freshly baked bread taste.
Body: A nice medium body with a slightly dry finish.
Aftertaste: A slightly tart finish with just a lingering of the original tastes. Occasional hints of rubber/plastic, and also lemon.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, but only just, because it is very bready, but it is a nice unique beer that is close to a 7. I've had a juniper beer before where the balance was way out of whack but this was well balanced with the flavours. It helped that there were very few off flavours. The dry and rubber aspects did increase with drinking making me change it to a 6 in retrospect.
Price Range: £2.29 for a 330ml bottle, a very good price for a refreshing and unique beer.
Food Pairings: Some nice simply done white fish, maybe some crustaceans with lots of butter as well.
