Rogue John John Juniper Tasting Notes

Tap. Pours a slightly cloudy gold with a proud, white head. Mostly traditional malt aroma, with some floral hops. Flavor begins with with a sweet maltiness, followed by a restrained hop presence. Only in the finish do the juniper berries come forth, generating a truly unique, spicy and fruity character. Light to medium in body with modest carbonation. A very nice, distinct beer.
