Aug 30, 2009 On tap at the brewery 7/18/09. Pours a hazy gold with great lacing, little head. Beautiful aromatic blend of floral and citrus hops, with a mild hint of spice. Taste has a touch of sweet and sour, then a blended bitter clean finish. Very smooth and drinkable, though not too complex.

Aug 28, 2009 Golden pour with quickly diminishing white head. Bretty aroma of citrus, marshmallows, dandelions. Some earth. Flavor is a bit funky, with grass and hay. Some spice, a bit of floral hops. Some herbs in the finish. Pretty nice.

Aug 26, 2009 My 22 oz bottle looked different from the c&c one pictured here and was marked Lips of Faith. It poured a cloudy golden color with a fat white head and moderate lacing. Nose is spicy, with coriander and floral hops. Medium but somewhat oily mouthfeel. Flavor is on sweet and dry side with some citrus flavors, and the finish is dry as well.

Aug 26, 2009 ( 22oz bomber thanks to ballewblake) Pours a pale yellow with oily bubbles, head and coats the glass very well. Nose is coriander, brett, funk but lightly so and very herbal. Taste is more coriander, brett, lightly crisp hops, with an oily body and nice velvety carbonation.

Aug 16, 2009 Bomber, "Lips of Faith" - hazy light golden beer, some fizzy lace - quite a complex aroma that opens with a strong mix of herbs and wildflowers, followed by some tropical fruits, and a rustic, wild character - semi-dry, with pineapple and peach up front - wildflowers and toasted grains - just enough of a funky brett character to make it interesting, but it remains subdued - I would like it to be a little more developed, in order to dry the beer out, because the sweetness kind of distracts from the other nuances of the beer - not as much as in the BdM, so I’m enjoying this a lot more, but NB seems to have trouble making a nicely dry beer.

Aug 14, 2009 I think this has a quite excellent floral light citrus aroma. The flavor is certainly on the light end, but is also quite distinctly defined, with a pleasant light dry hop finish. Good stuff.

Aug 13, 2009 Amazingly pedestrian. Tasted sort of like a milky saison. What could possibly be all the fuss. For $3 less, I could have had a Hennipen and much more satisfied. I am scared to try the Mars now, ’cause it was once a favourite of mine.

Aug 13, 2009 Bottle from Whole Foods in Los Altos. They compare this to Orval on the description...um...riiiight. Hazy golden-straw color with a well-formed white head. Aroma of pale malt, yeast, and maybe a little brett. Flavor not too exciting overall - slightly sweet pale malt, citrus, and some floral hops. Fairly light on the palate. Not very exciting overall.
