Picked up the latest of the John John series to make it to Atlanta at Green’s on Ponce. 22 oz bottle.
Not really excited by the first one in the series, but this one seems to offer more potential for me.
Color is an attractive, slightly hazed, golden body with a fine, wispy head. Not much retention or lace but a good color.
Nose offers little other than some sweet malts and perhaps a touch of alcohol.
Tastes are what I would call refined. A very tasty, noticeable light, citrus and herbal twang which come together very nice in the finish. Clean and a hint of more mixed, herbs, the flavors are floral and very aromatic. Very drinkable, thirst quenching and light. Light lemon finishes it off. A bit like a SERIOUS fruit beer.
Full disclosure: I’m a fan of gin, and that may make a difference here.
Delicious and I enjoyed this more than most of the bourbon/whiskey barrel aged beers that I’ve had in the past.
