Gin Barrel Aged Headin' West
Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co.

 

 

 

I love gin, and this delivers it, but maybe not in a super cohesive way. It's just gin botanicals out the nose, almost like candied gin, sweet, a touch spicy, juniper and honeysuckle, citrus and vanilla. Palate is a little all over the place, with all of those notes still present, fighting it out, without much of a malt base to ground it all. Interesting and fun but the base beer just feels a little too weak to carry the gin fireworks.

 

 

 

 

Hazy gold with a large white head.

I'm smelling lime, gin, and vanilla.

On the palate I'm getting bitter gin, hints of a dirty martini, and dandelion. I guess that makes this far more bitter than I expected up front, with the lime and vanilla bringing up the rear.
