The Lure:
Citrusy wheat character and grassy, sage-like herbs proliferating through. Something egg-y’s growing in here, but its sweetness is definitely intriguing.
The Festivities:
A rotund body for a wheat beer is emboldened by this sugary egg white component which mixes very ably with the feathery grass touch towards the end. Fruitiness is subdued, and sulphur fumes might have been present sporadically.
Transcendence:
The smell of a nearby continent. Familiar, yet instilling the need to investigate distant differences.

Oct 11, 2006 On tap at Vices&Versa, hazy yellow hue, with a white head, fresh cut hay and herbals nose, with a citrus fruitiness, ginger and faint vanilla spiciness notes, a mild sweet honeyish accent, with a subtle breezy salty sea pale malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp zesty gingery spiciness character, with a citrus fruits accent, hint of vanilla, pale malt, faint herbal floral hops accent, leading towards a fruity lingering mild gingery finish.

Jun 13, 2005 Pleasant aroma suggests tarragon, vanilla and thyme in fresh pastry dough.Clear, pale gold body has a shy, thin ring of white head. Lactic, creamy, grainy flavour is mild with some pleasant spices in the finish and some mild fruity esters. Overall quite sweet but not unpleasantly so, and never cloying. Light, refreshing body with soft carbonation that is gently effervescent on the tongue. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.

Jun 13, 2005 Updated: Sep 11, 20062005 draught at Mondial, 6/4/05. Hazy blonde beer, with a whispy white head, well retained with some lacing. Aroma of fresh herbs, mint, thyme, sage and some dusty and thick yeast. Light honeyish malt as well. Flavor is heathery and dry, not sour or cereal-like. A light vanilla and honey-almond malt in the background with aggressive spicing up front. A bit of acidity on the end, bits of floral notes and a medium body. Light and fluffy on the palate, not watery or thin. Refreshing and gruit-like, though a lighter malt it has. Elegantly simple, and a pleasant drink.
