Pours gold and cloudy (very yeasty looking) with some sparse white foam on top. Aroma is dominated by lots of spice, (coriander, perfume, some lavender elements), hints of sweet malt and slightly sugary. Taste incorporates a nice wheat like backbone with spice and some hints of citrus thrown in. Mouthfeel is thick and viscous. Finish yields some hints of pepper. Very sessionable. I’m surprised by the low scores.

Mile lemony aroma, Cloudy golden appearance. Complete lack of carbonation and drinks like a lemondade.
Taste of citrus, almost like fresca and ends with slightly bitter spicy tones. Would be nice on hot summer’s day but could use some maltiness. Still a unique brew.

this is an interesting ale. Definitely not what i was expecting. It is slightly fruity, with a very smooth ride down the throat. it was easy to drink and enjoyable. It had a nice appearance, but little head on the pour. A beer worth trying.

A hazy yellow colored beer, with a thick white head. The aroma is very fruity, fresh with spices and some flowers. The taste is fresh fruity like citrus flowers wheat, spices and herbs. Nice bitterness. The aftertaste is some bitter for a while.

A real surprise, very much in the style of belgian Wit, but with extra spice to account for the lack of hops, crips and refreshing, a perfect hot summer pre-dinner drink.

It is fascinating to read the variety of impressions that this beer generates! I thought it was very interesting and terrific. From the bottle, it doesn’t look very nice-- murky cloudy yellow-brown with a mediocre head and poor retention. Huge aroma of butterscotch and warmed butter. Sweet palate, very butterscotchy with some cardamom, ginger and vanilla cookie, and a vaguely fruity note that I couldn’t put my finger on (maybe the herbs, maybe the yeast...). Thin-bodied, but that’s okay as it was still a pleasure to drink. Recommended for its different character.

I was pleasantly surprised by this gruit. Most gruits seemed to be overly spiced and end up tasting like Chai. Not this one. Done lightly on the herbs, it has a delicate floral nose and a beautiful clear coppery color. No yeast or protein haze, even after a swirl. Head was white but fell instantly. Flavor was unique, without the bitterness of hops, but without the sweetness of other gruits. Perhaps they use some acidified malt to make it tarter.
