22 ounce bottle into a tulip glass, also had on tap the same day. Bottled 8/18/16. Aged seven months in FEW gin barrels.
Pours a hazy apricot color, with a half inch head and little lacing. Smells of gin, Belgian yeast, light malt, a little funk and straw, apples, slight juniper berries. Really nice aroma. The taste also leads with the gin, then more of a yeast and malt presence than the nose, spices- clove, for one, apples, light lemon, some alcohol, a little oak. The flavor is every bit as good as the aroma. Smooth, dry, refreshing, a good body. Could use a touch more carbonation.
The gin barrels add greatly to both the flavor and aroma, and it's a well blended and balanced beer. Strong effort from IO, glad I have two more bottles.
