On draft at the GL. Pours a hazy yellow honey with a medium sized white head. Aroma of zesty lemon, honey, yeast, bread dough and mouthwash. Taste is much the same as the aroma.

(Sample Date: 12/27/2009 Source:Other) Very spicy floral hop nose to start with almost a bergamot aroma along with caramelized sugars. Clear (but obvious bottle conditioned) golden with small white head. Pickle spice (chamomile and rose hips) light fruitiness. Medium body and mouth feel. Nice ….different.

Bottle on 12/27/2009. Somewhat hazy golden body with a medium frothy white head. Sweet floral and spicy aroma with a pale malt background. Sweet ginger flavor with light chamomile notes on a pale malt background. Medium body with moderately low carbonation.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange body with a white head. Ginger root, and ginger like notes completely dominate this brew. Spices hints of digressed ginger or cinnamon like notes, yeast y spicy concept is the domineering factor. Tangerine, grapefruit and calamine notes. The spices intensity are less apparent then in the aroma of this spicy ale. Still enjoyable despite the one dimensional character.

12oz bottle. Pours hazy orange golden, capped with a moderate sized off white head. Intense, interesting aroma, with notes of ginger, lavender, spice, wheat and herbs. Herbs hit the palate first, along with wheat, lemongrass, and citrus. There’s some smoke towards the finish as well. Flavor is unusual, and not totally enjoyable. My least favorite PBC beer thus far.

Cloudy yellow-orange color with a white head that fizzes away quickly. Aroma of ginger,lemon, and other spices. Spicy flavor, of ginger, cinnamon, lemon and wheat. Not too impressive.

While the amount of hops is probably okay for most, it was a little on the heavy side for me. Has a full body with a long-lasting flavor.

pours murky amber/rose/gold with a thick frothy white head. nose and flavor is strongly herbal...a dark, musky herbal mix...there’s definitely cardamom and ginger, but there’s something dark too, not unlike sarsaprilla....they say lemongrass, rhubarb root and rosehips, so I’ll take their word for it. very interesting. lots of lemon and ginger on the aftertaste. on the dry side. i like it, i think. definitely something you have to be in the mood for.
