Tried on-tap at the Quarrymans in Pyrmont during Sydney Craft Beer Week.
Pours a solid-amber red with a little weight to the body. Good clarity and streaming fine carbonation feeding an off-white head, which becomes a firm ring. Not a lot of lace. Looks decent enough: the colour in particular is pretty nice.
Spicy and herbal on the nose. Caraway and dark bread reminds me of a German breakfast. Some sharp peppercorn characters and yep, a little juniper coming through as well, giving a slight freshness. It's pretty heavy, and pretty powerful. Impressive.
Cedar comes through on the entry along with more herbal notes: here there's stacks of juniper that mellows into more complex aromatics: pot-pourri, gardenia, pepper always with a woody undertone. Lingering savoury juniper onto the back. More meaty bread and a hint of bay leaf. Great stuff.
Feel is light and sparkly. Surprisingly, it makes a good addition to the herbal, spicy characters.
Overall, I'm pretty super impressed with this beer. It uses juniper in a powerful way, but never does it feel like it's overpowering. It just creates great complexity. Wonderful stuff.
