Jul 26, 2008 bb 06June08. Smokestack chalice.
Aroma is very herbal, light citrus, toasty/cracker-like, honey. Gold colored with a smallish head. Taste is toasty, herbal, with touch of vanilla. A little tannic, with a full mouthfeel, but a dry finish. An interesting beer, to be sure. The first time I had something about the beer turned me off greatly, but it seems the one aspect of the beer that I disagreed with is no longer something that bother me.

Jul 18, 2008 pous a hazy yellow color with large head. slight sour citrus in the noise, some spices. wormwood is not evident in the nose or taste. slight woody flavor may be due to the oak aging. not bad, but I wonder what the purpose was. I can’t think that this sells that much.

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy, light honey color with a big, billowy 3 finger white head with spotty lacing. Nose is slightly weird sour smell upfront with lemon grass and spice. Taste is similar to the aroma. Medium mouth feel. Strange brew, eh.

Jul 7, 2008 This essentially tastes very similar to Fat Tire, which I am not really a fan of. Same biscuit like malts observed in Fat Tire. Other than the 1554, none of what New Belgium imports into MN excites me. Now if we could get the abbey dubbel, abbey tripel, and La Folie, then I might get more excited about this brewery. I had this a beer tasting in a wine specialty store.

Jul 5, 2008 12 oz bottle in Lebanon, MO. Pours a hazy light yellow. Nice white head that dissipates quickly. I can’t quite place the smell, but the yeast is nice. Has a nice citrus aftertaste and is an overall nice average summer beer.

Summer in a bottle. Not overly intense as I expected when I saw wormwood listed on the bottle. Decent restrained beer that goes well with the heat.

Jun 29, 2008 This is a summer beer and therefore light. Aroma, flavor, malt , hopping, mouth feel, complexity all were at that leval. It is a reasonable summer beer.
riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA
Jun 27, 2008 Aroma of light lime/citrus and an earthy hoppiness. Nice crisp flavor with hints of lime, toast, and lighter citrus hops. Pretty thin, light, and very easy to drink. I thought there was a decent amount of complexity in this light beer. It quenched my thirst after moving a ton of stuff on a hot night.
