DA (2473), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Jul 1, 2008 The herbs in this were funky, I couldn’t quite pick it up, maybe basil? ginger? mint? and lavender? Spices are sort of in the Fantome realm, the beer didn’t quite get there. Still very decent brew that went really well with my pesto pasta.
rocbyter (666), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Oct 10, 2008 Light lemon and nutmeg in the aroma. lightly hazy yellow color with lots of carbonation and a large white head. Flowery taste in the beginning fading to a light malt finish. dmac (886), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Oct 9, 2008 22 oz bottle from Wine King in Wall. Pours a thin hazy light straw color with a large but quickly receding bubbly fizzy head. The thin body combined with hazy pale straw color makes this one look like a cross between dish water and stale beer. Aroma starts off with a combination of wet hay, earth and lemon juice. As the aroma develops spices begin to emerge, anise and mint over some grains.Palate is overly forced carbonation on top a watery body and leaves no aftertaste, which in this case is probably a good thing. Flavor is really lacking especially after all those....ahem...."interesting" aromas. What there is to taste is some weak boring cereal grains and a slight lemon aftertaste. I wasn’t expecting much from this beer but definitely more then this. Cornfield (4343), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bomber: Interesting beer. It pours a hazy, almost cloudy yellow body with a bubbly head. The aroma is kind of like spicy Christmas cookie dough spiked with gin and imbued with dirty pine needles. It’s "lager-ness" is almost lost under the heavy spicing - add anise, mint, and clove to the mix - and it develops an aspirin-like bitterness at the midpoint that lingers into the dry finish. Interesting.
Pat’s Liquors, Porter, IN thehurt01 (135), Denver, Colorado, USA Oct 3, 2008 A 22 oz bottle with a cool label. the beer pours a slighty cloudy gold with a monster white crisp head. The smell is malt with some spices that i cant place. The taste is smooth with a nice hops and mint flavor. Good carbonation. patrick767 (1449), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 28, 2008 22oz bottle - Pours hazy light yellow with a big white head. It smells of spice and a touch of citrus. The flavor is heavily spiced with maybe nutmeg and clove among other spices. There’s also some orange zest in there. The light malt flavors are kind of buried under all that spice. The palate is light and bubbly. it’s certainly different and isn’t bad though I wish the beer under all that spice was more assertive.
