bottle - Poured golden a little hazy with a decent white head a fair amound of yeast remained in the bottom of the bottle after the pour. Aroma is spice, corriander over light malts and a slight bit of citrus. Taste is of yeast and corriander and a touch of orange. The spice dominates the beer more than I would have liked but it is a good drink anyway. On the palate it is medium bodied and about right for this style. Another good brew from Great Lakes although I have to say I’ve liked their others better.

Bottle. Clear golden colored. Fair white head. Nice aroma of citrus and a bit of coriander? Pleasant and clean tasting. Lighter bodied. Spice seems to come out a bit more in the finish. Solid.

Bottle: Lemony and citrusy aroma. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a small white head. Head fades to what looks like a scummy film sitting on top of the beer. Lemon and citrus up front with a light hop finish and even lighter spice note. There is a light sweetness that lingers in the background.

Courtesy of pintbypint. Poured a cloudy light gold with a lingering head. The aroma is the typical oranges with the light corriander spice. There is also a fresh floral note. The taste is white bread and some spicy orange peel. There is also an apple character. A decent wit that I woudl prefer to be a touch sweeter.

My bottles poured a hazy yellow, with some evidence of sediment build-up. Aroma is yeasty and funky, with orange, pear, lemon, and floral hops in the nose. These smells all translate into distinguishable tastes, but none dominate the brew too heavily. Goes down very smooth, feel is a little buttery. The spice in this beer is there, but almost non-existant, with the "quirky" part of the taste coming almost entirely from the funky yeastiness. Didn’t see the supposed chamomile at all. Still another fine beer from Great Lakes, though.

12 fl. oz brown bottle. Poured a hazy lemon yellow, small white cap. Cloves, flowery hops, light citrus aromas. Flavours of wheat, some lemon, slight hoppy bite in the finish.

Chamomile? Ok! Weird blend of grass clippings, flowers, and lemon room freshener. I love Great Lakes...but this is not my best pick from them.
