3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 otakuden (1704) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - MAY 26, 2013
Appearance:
Pours deep orange hues under a beautiful white head fades slowly to a bubbly and filmy head bordered by a full collar of lace. Slow stream of bubbles. Swirls with more lace.
Nose:
Floral and herbal from the front into the middle where citrus blossoms with grapefruit. Pine needles along the edges. Herbal fantasia – thyme, rosemary, sage, mint leaf, and lavender. For spices there is fresh and crystallized ginger with a sprinkle of cumin. Aloe and dew-dropped green grass.
Palate:
Massive herbal and spicy notes. Big hit of ginger in the back of each and every swallow. Bitterness of green grass and grapefruit skin with lots of pith for parching thirst-inducing enjoyment. Fresh dried rosemary, thyme, and sage. Mint, lavender, and rose water in the breath. So many complex flavors working together in beautiful harmony – for a lot of big flavors they never overwhelm.
Final Thoughts:
When I opened the bottle it was as if a spice market and greenhouse had made a baby together, that baby being the beer in my hand. Amazingly complex and fantastically of the earth. A liquid harvest.

This one poured a hazy lighter yellow color with a white head. Spices are very dominant on the noes, lots of sage and rosemany, light yeast, and vanilla coming through too. Flavor was similar, a bit too much artificial spicing for my liking not enough naturla rustic flavor.

12oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden body with large fluffy head. Aroma is funky and spicy up front, distinct wheat aroma, with notes of sage and rosemary. In the taste the spices come through big time, some pleasant candied sugar sweetness which is then immediately balanced by a light hop profile. Very interesting.
