Cloudy white in appearance. Coriander and vaguely "spicy" aroma. Lemon and coriander flavor up front, but fades to a watery nothingness in the finish.

Aroma is intensely fruity & floral. Flavour is similar, fruity and malty but also quite watery. This tastes much like ’Herbal Essences’ shampoo smells. A strange concoction.

Bottle Pale amber beer with a thin whitish head. Slightly sour citrus (lemon-lime) aroma with some spice. Low carbonation. Lemon-lime flavor with some wheat and herbal tones. Light mouthfeel because of low carbonation. I agree with below in that it reminds me a bit of a less sweet, lower carbonated sprite/beer mix.

Poured a hazy light yellow with a small white head. Fruity and herbal spiced. Light sweet malt. Lightly tart sweet and spiced flavor.

2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hazy, toasted wheat color with a loose, scattering, sudsy white head. Aroma of apple sauce, orange-blossom honey, flowery heather, and herbal spice suggesting corander. Flavor brings out pear characters with prominent honey notes and medium, unbalanced sweetness. Comes across like a thin spiced wine/mead. Flat, syrupy thin body. Doesn’t particularly appeal to me. I’d be curious to try a very fresh sample, but that’s not an easy option.

This bottled brew poured a large sized head of finely sized white colored mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind a poor lacing. The body was hazy carbonated and there were spices notably floating in it. It had a herbal aroma mixed with hops and malt. The mouth feel was initially smooth and finished with a malty spicy note. The flavor was subtle with spices mixed with malt and mildly hopped.

The first thing I noted about this beer was the lack of hop presence. That was before I realised it was a recreation of a gruit beer and didn’t have any hops. The herbs used in place of provided an interesting alternative, but I didn’t find them assertive enough. Vaguely medicinal. Overall a bit dull, thin and watery. Extra marks for interest though. Bottled. January 2005.
