1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20Reminds me of Bog Water, and thats not a good way to go. It is way too sour tasting. Also gives stomach problems immidately because spices start working like its jagermaister. Hazy orange colour, medium sized off-white head. Aroma and taste lightly malts, slightly a sour hint, slightly grassy and a slight bitterness in the finish. Low to medium body and carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A cloudy, golden beer with a big and beautiful, blond head. Aroma is very aromatic, lots of flowers, also fruits, spices and herbs. Taste is also aromatic, flowers, herbs, nice sweetness. There is one aroma, maybe the herb, that is dominate the flavour, but I cannot figure out what is it, maybe lavender. Medium bodied, balanced to drink. The very aromatic and unique beer, even demanding.

Bottle from Ashburn Wine shop. Pours golden with an inch of white foam. Nice peppery notes on the nose. Fairly bright and flavorful on the tongue. Finishes clean. Kind of middle of the road for style. The hops could be a little more forward.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at Lord Hobo. Pours a slightly orange golden color witha finger of foamy head that hangs a bit... The nose is very floral with fresh orchid, wildflower honey and old hay. The palate continues with the noses profile but has an added complexity with parts of all the ingredients showing in one form or another. The ginger adds a layer of spicy heat, green pepper a round vegetale midpalate and chamomile lingers throughout but really draws out the lingering finish with a slightly honeyed apple sweetness that is almost ghost like. Layers of subtle complexity.
