3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This is an interesting drink. It tastes pretty controlled and organized considering they have created a frankenstein here. The beer is a golden amber with a thin creamy head. Lots of small bubbles in the carbonation. The aroma is what i would expect from a lager. They did a really good job of not making this beer too bitter or malty. It is pretty balanced and very tasty.

odd unexpected aroma of soap, flowers, peaches, mild pine, wood and dusty straw.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, bottle date 08-18-10. Poured a slight hazed orange with a frothy off-white head that settled to a ring. Initial aroma of yeast and pale lager. Grass and floral comes out more as it warms. The flavor found yeast and citrus hop. Medium body and a light bitterness.

Draft at Lefthand. Orange-brown, filtered. Soapy off-white head. Herbal aroma. Very interesting beer. Pretty hop forward, but ends with some nice lager yeast notes. Sprucy, sage flavors, but they balance out quite well. Broad range of herbal hop nuances. Well done.

Bottle from Dorothy Lane. I liked this type and beer. Very nice example with copper color, nice head and lacing, with a unique must taste up front, very subtle so it adds to flavor, citrus notes as well.

Hoppy aroma. Golden coloured floral hoppy and smooth on the palate with a hint of dryness in a bitter and creamy malt finish.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pors deep golden with a bit of a haze. It has muted notes of spicy hops which truly show up nicely on the mid palate and then blends out to a nice herbal finish. Doesn’t show the ABV that badly.
