Fresh grainy malt aroma. Flavor of fresh malt and floral hops dominate. Long-lasting finish.

Had this one bottled thanks to Slothgar! Greyish yellow, bubbly pour with a filmy white head, nose of sweet malts, candy apples. Apple juice permeates this one. Unusual but pretty good.

Huge head, but poured to a opaque color; not what I was expecting - it looked more like a wheat beer. Very carbonated, but surprisingly, I really liked the taste. Slightly hoppy finish. I usually don’t like this kind of beer to much, but I was surprised. The reviews seem really polarized, too. EDIT: Trying for the second time, and I may have gotten a bad bottle. There is almsot no carbonation in it. Tastes good, but has a funny mouthfeel.

Rather hoppy aroma of flowers and perfume. Doughy malt aspect as well. Soft palate. Black pepper bite, lemon, hops, and bread. Not that I am an expert with ANYTHING organically grown, but this definitely shows you what ’organic’ means.

Dark straw color with a slight chill haze. Bright white head diminishes rather quickly. Slight floral hops aroma. Very slight oxidized flavor, but still quite drinkable. Powdery floral hops flavor dominate with undertones of mild sweet malt. Finishes very clean with only a slight malt flavor lingering. With out the oxidation this would be the perfect hot summers night lager.
