Pours gold with thin white head. Nice size aroma of spiciness mixed with some earth, herb, flower pedals and sugar. The taste starts with a lively carbonation kick of malty sweetness becoming nearly lemon citrus with herbal notes. I also get light colored fruit esters to go along with a floral sense. The alcohol can’t help but well up from time to time. Interesting brew.

750ml bottle on clearance @ Sam’s for 3.99- Some other raters have complained about excessive carbonation, but this bottle has basically none. A bit of a lactic acid/ lambic/ raspberry smell, some sweet malt cowering behind it and a vapor trail of earthy hops. Sweet malty taste up front yields to some boozy flavors, slight hop bitterness. This might have been good at one time, but I can see now why this was on clearance- really don’t want to finish this glass of flat unenjoyable brew. At least the bottle is high quality, will reuse it for homebrewing.

Bottle from Swolf! Thanks for sharing wolf! Hazy yellow in color, small head. Raspberry aroma. Taste is a nice fruityness of raspberries and spices. Kind of tart, and lots of carbonation but overall a good summer time brew that I enjoyed on a hot day. Thanks again wolf

Vibrant light yellow orange - semi thick pour with a bubbly head. Big smell of fruit. Lemon citris flavor. Really highly carbonated. Not very enjoyable. Overly lemon.

Golden colored with a white head the has some retention and lacing. Earthy aromas, light grass, lemon, and clove. Bready taste, earthy, clove, and spice. Higher carbonation and medium body.
