Draft at Khyber Pass. Tulip. Hazy orange pour with a fizzy foam. Nicely tart and floral. Clementine marmalade. Lemmongrass. Thyme. Honey dandelion tea. The juniper berries add a pleasant earthy spiciness. Like it the more I drink it. Decent body for something so light and refreshing.

OKplus (379) - Oklahoma, USA - MAR 29, 2013
A - Pours a hazy golden brass with a 2 finger rocky white head that has superior retention. Big sheets of lacing. S - Soapy herbal hops, white grapes, green apple, treated wood, lavender, pale malt. T - Sweet oaky lavender, green herbal resin, vanilla, spicy floral with a yeasty peppery bite. A dry treated oak finish. M - Medium creamy body. Excellent head retention. This taste like slightly hoped pinot grigio aged in gin barrels. I like that it’s different but one is plenty. It definitely has that super dry gin feeling towards the end.
