From a growler back in 2010 - This brew pours a dark amber color with a white two finger fluffy head that quickly disappears. At first the Juniper berries aren’t to noticeable. But as you let the beer warm up a bit the more you’ll notice the berries. The smell was more of a malt bomb then a hop bomb. But mixed in with the malt is nice citrus and piney hops and some other fruits. The taste up front is more of the same. Really nice amount of malt, citrus, pine, and what I believed to pick up as some peaches. The Juniper is there and it gives a bit of a bitter taste. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation. A little bit rough on the tongue.

Bottle 12 oz. Slightly hazy copper colored beer with a large off-white head of good duration. Kidt flowers and berry-like aroma with clear notes of citrus. Sweetish taste with notes of caramel, citrus and orange. Moderately bitter in taste and a long bitter aftertaste.

Entering old rates. 2010 originally as Twigs and Berries. Retrouve le profile typique de Jai Alai, couleur orangée toujours un peu trouble, col blanc épais. Nez est ici similaire avec encore un ajout épicé, poivré du cèdre. Dans ce dernier cas, je maintiens ma vue que le cèdre se présente plus adapté pour des bières houblonnées que bières brunes. Les baies de genièvre sont là et donnent un ajout agréable.

Bottle. Deep amber color, thick cream colored head with god retention. Aroma of Christmas, detectable from across the room. Taste is bitter pine resin, but not overwhelming. Very nice.

(Bottle at Rattle & Hum, NYC) This is my first sample from this brewer, which is very hard to find in the NY metro area. The aroma is of a walk-in humidor with juniper and citrus, (hence the name?). Although this is a high-end craft brew, a bit too much cedar flavor interfered with the style for my taste.
