Tastes

My first pink gin so I have no previous point of reference. Light juniper, strawberry sweetness not entirely but partly balanced out by a certain tartness potentially stemming from the rhubarb and/or lingonberry or by a certain dryness potentially stemming from it being based on a rye spirit.

Medium juniper, neat drink is stingy and hot, light but off-tasting muddled complexity with indeterminate spicy, bitter and perfumy hints. Some people make it sound like the worst gin ever, and I can't agree, but it's just not particularly good either.

Rich orange contrasted with medium juniper and a certain herbal freshness, slightly bitter undertone. Tonic mutes the orange a little. Decent complexity for drinkers who want their fruity gins to taste like more than just the one fruit.

Forward on fresh juniper, some citrus, hints of florals and pepper, tonic muddles the flavors but doesn't tip the balance.

Noticeably grape based sweetness and fruitiness with delicate balance of light florals, light citrus, light juniper, light spiciness, smooth to drink with tonic but becomes muted besides floral and citrusy hints.

Noticeably grape based sweetness and fruitiness with delicate balance of light florals, light citrus, light juniper, hint of freshness, tonic throws off the balance towards bitterness.

Pretty traditional flavor profile with medium juniper and the slightest hints of citrus and sweetness. Slightly bitter aftertaste with tonic. Decent value proposition for a fallback London Dry.

Clearly and convincingly orange forward, very sweet, slightly bitter, sticky orangey aftertaste. Junipery Tanqueray base notes still faintly in the background. Decent fruity summer offering especially with tonic and ice cubes, but a little too one-dimensional to be truly outstanding. Priced regularly but have gotten it as cheap as 16 EUR per Bottle before. Edit: Downgraded from 4.5 to 4.0 following another sampling with more experience.

Pretty one-dimensional in piney juniper, very conventional, lacks complexity, leaves a certain stickiness in the mouth with tonic, but also extremely affordable and makes no false promises. Priced regularly but have gotten it as cheap as 10 EUR per Bottle before.

Mildly junipery, slight herbal complexity, grapefruit seems to contribute bitterness above all and made the entire thing unenjoyable for me.
