Decently hazy appearance, nice pillowey head that sticks around.
Aroma has some Brett character: hay and a little horse blanket. I get a small amount of the advertised gin barrel, but not a ton in the aroma.
Moderately high acid at the front of the tongue, but balanced nicely with an interesting sweet juniper finish.
Overall really well done, but personally I wouldn't mind the acid being toned down just a bit.
