Deep copper with a slight reddish tint and a film for a head. Warming aroma - a sweet malt with a light citric hopping and an alcohol heat that intensifies somewhat with the warming. A bit thin bodied, but very smooth - WAY too easy to drink. The citrus fruits become more pronounced in the tasting, blending quite well with the slightly toffee-ish malts. The finish is sticky, but the sweetness is cut by the hop bitterness and a mild alcohol afterburn. Very nice.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2006 An attractive brandyish-copper body holds thick remnants of white in a scant film above. Aromas of sweet citrus... tangerine and pink grapefruit. Alcohol is up close and personal but the beer lingers warmly, not hot. Citrus makes a fine component of the flavor along with mild tea bitters. This beer was honey smooth and one of my favorites of the day as well.

UPDATED: APR 26, 2005 Dark copper colour with a thin greyish more white head that was quickly discipating. THe nost is mostly hops with just bit of copper and malts in the background. The taste was just about the same with the hops and copper overpowering the malts also the flavor of whatever is in Gin. The name is losing me now. Almost unbalanced but overall not that bad. Of the beers that we had this was definately my favourite.
