Common descriptors are Cask & Bottled; Status uncertain.
This is a beer that has been fermenting in my mind for several years. It took the opening of the City of London Distillery to give me the chance to turn a dream into a reality. Made with botanicals taken directly from the still, this is a fruity, golden ale where the various gin fruits and spices make a distinct but subtle impression. Citrus and juniper dominate the nose. The slightly sweetish body of the beer is supported by a light-blackcurrant hopping with Bramling Cross, while the gin flavours reassert themselves in the finish. Ideal for those who would like their favourite short drink a little longer. Hold the tonic!
