JoeMcPhee (3643), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Mar 24, 2005 Cloudy copper colour, thick white head. Bright lavender aroma with a bit of their yeast character underneath it. Flavour is pretty well-balanced, lavender, some malt, and a spicy pepper or ginger heat as well. Again, there is some diacetyl in there but it isn’t distracting. An interesting brew. Oakes (6793), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Mar 24, 2005 Cloudy tan colour. Heavy lavender aroma, also quite spicy (I’m thinking pepper, but it’s tough to get it out from under all the lavender). Toasty-bitter palate - astringent, really - with lots of lavender and some sweaty yeast.
