This was very good. A nice bit of unique spiciness, with some zesty acidity and some spicy hops.

Pale yellow beer wtih an interesting aroma ... The flavor has a spicy edge that I couldn’t quite pin down, almost a cinammon or nutmeg, but very restrained. Good.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Indra (2361) - Overland Park, Kansas, USA - JUN 5, 2005
Incredibly perfumy, fruity, citric aroma, sweet flowers and lemon abound, some faint orange and coriander and slight wheat malt as well. Lightly hazy pale yellow color with a fine, slight head. Flavor is full of sugary sweetness, spiciness and yeast esters, more lemon and orange character with a particularly sweet, light finish. Gentle effervescence and thin mouthfeel, body is light as well. A bit sweet for my tastes but otherwise interesting.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 TAR (2236) - Lafayette, Colorado, USA - MAY 18, 2005
Draft: Translucent lemon. Broken foam subsides to a dense ring. Vibrantly aromatic with rosehips, orange peels, medicine, and toasted hay. Somewhat chalky, but equally soft and tightly carbonated. Soft dash of coriander neutralizes the sweetness and dances gracefully with underripe melon traces. Lovely blend of doughy yeast coupled with a lushly-bready malt foundation. Chalky yeast and herbaceous hop notes flourish in the finish alongside crackery malts over a delightfully-soft blend of rose petals, citrus pulp, and melon. Such a lovely aroma, and all the flavor really needs is more sweetness to soften the overly firm texture.
