The taste is crisp and lightly peppery, lightly grassy\/woody, with sweet citrus highlights. The finish is long but mellow, with a low bitterness and notes of citrus peel, lemongrass, and subtle juniper. Overall, it&#8217;s definitely bolder and in my opinion more interesting than the original Sapphire, and as such doesn&#8217;t get lost in the mix as much either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[187],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-1588","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","hentry","embm_style-gin-tonic"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Gin: Italian Juniper Berries, Moroccan Coriander Seeds, Chinese Liquorice Root, Spanish Almonds, Spanish Lemon Peel, Indo-Chinese Cassia Bark, Italian Orris Root, Saxonian Angelica Root, Javanese Cubeb Berries, West African Grains of Paradise, Thai Lemongrass, Vietnamese Black Peppercorns","hops":"Tonic: Congoan Quinine, Tanzanian Bitter Orange, Provencal &quot;subtle botanicals&quot;, Gloucestershire Elderflower","additions":"Garnish: Lime slices &amp; Lemongrass*","yeast":"","abv":null,"ibu":null},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/1588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1588"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/1588\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1592,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/1588\/revisions\/1592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=1588"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=1588"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=1588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
