2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 thedm (4124) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - JUN 22, 2003
This brew poured a small head of fine off-white bubbles and a transparent amber brown body with a mild malt-hop aroma. It had a mild bitter inital taste that smoothed in its finish in flavors of wheat and a hint of spice.

Amber color small white head that didn't last long. Smell i can't quite describe. Malty and grassy taste kind of medicinal. A unique beer.

An interesting smell, and it tastes somewhat like tea. I didn't, however, get any of the 'side effects' of the beer, but maybe that's because I already have good circulation and high stamina. *shrug*
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 jayme9874 (756) - Hamburg, New York, USA - MAY 28, 2003
Had to try it. Clear deep amber color. Soapy head and lace. Interesting nose, shit in there I never smelled. Earthy, herbal, malty and spicey are the best I can come up with. thinnish body, toasty malt, lots of herbalness:), grassy and a hint of bitterness in the finish. This is not bad, more of a marketing ploy but not a bad way to go. One of these a day has to be benificial. Worth a shot.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Drew (2411) - Kent, Ohio, USA - MAY 24, 2003
Smooth palate, full of tiny bubbles. Very malty with thin sweetness up front and down the center. Spicey aroma. Some of the flavors reminded me of herbal tea - well, obviously since there's ginseng, etc. in it. I liked this.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 jgb9348 (3491) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - MAY 13, 2003
Amber tint to a golden colour. Small amount of head which died down very quickly. Very large bubbles rising from the bottom and sides of the glass at a dizzying pace. A normal smelling ale with hints of malt and a little hops. Taste is a bit malty and a tad hoppy at the end. I don't taste the herbal qualities much, perhaps a little bit. If you threw this side by side with a Sam Adams Boston Lager, I probably couldn't tell the difference. Not a bad beer though.

Large frothy head, amber colored. Floral and herbal (medicine) aroma. Tastes pretty much like a mildly hopped Pale Ale. Finish is a bit more malty.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - APR 10, 2003
Dark golden to amber with a few centimeters of somewhat quickly diminishing off white foam. Almost sneezed with the first whiff. Smell of goldenrod and dandilions. Very herbal on the front. Thyme, sage and other more exotic herbs. Malt comes back to play for only a short time midway through the quaff until some interesting herbal/grassy flavors grow back. Interesting, but I'm more of a carnivore than a herbivore.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Pjones6738 (500) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 3, 2003
This is a golden colored ale with a thick white head, and a slightly spiced aroma. The taste wasn't like any beer I'd had before. It had elements of lemon and cinnamon in it, but there are other tastes that I can't put a name to. I did find them to be very pleasant though. It was very easy drinking as well. I'd expected this to be nothing more than a gimmick beer, but I was impressed with the taste, and will look for it again.
