Commercial Description:
This brew is a nod to old tyme beverages - the kind of styles being re-invigorated by Belgians and Italians and foresighted Americans. The emphasis is on a unique line up of herbs and spices. If you must conform to styles think Belgian Pale ... with herbs and spices: Cardamom, Ginger, Lemongrass, Rose hips, and Rhubarb root. We’re thinking springtime in the sprawling French countryside - or Kensington - whichever you prefer.

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.

Bottle. Okay so it’s liquid lavender and lemons and carbonated water. Actually it’s not that bad at all. I’d call it a craft light beer. Overall it’s not bad at all.

Bottle Pours a hazy yellow with a decent white head which leaves rather quickly. Aroma is of lemon, ginger, and cloves. It would be a good salmon rub. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is lemon with a bunch of spices added to it. Has a very refresting light tartness. Has a watery texture. A light body. The finish is okay and the aftertaste stick with it. I can’t help thinking the water is from Kensington though.

Tap at Prohibition Taproom. Pours a hazy golden orange with a medium creamy white head. Aroma of various herbal spices, Ginger, lemongrass...pretty much that oil hippies use as perfume. Flavor of the same, very herbal, spices, wheat and citrus. Kinda sweet.

On tap at Capones. Poured a medium and lightly hazy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of ginger, lemon grass, citrus, and a little fruity. Tastes of ginger, citrus, honey, and spices.
