16 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Canned 10/8/20, had 10/21/20.

Pours a light amber, cloudy, with a one inch foamy head with good retention and a good amount of foamy lacing. Aromas of juniper, gin, grapefruit, light malt, light orange, a little oak, some caramel as it warms. A little bit of a spicy aroma. Flavors of gin, grapefruit, juniper, malt, some oak, light caramel- again, a little more as it warms. A generally citrusy flavor beyond the grapefruit, a light, spicy flavor, some hop bitterness midway. Smooth, semi dry, a solid lighter body, well carbonated.

Certainly barrel forward, with lots of juniper, but the grapefruit and solid base match up with it pretty well. Solid effort, really enjoyable.
