Sep 4, 2009 16.0oz bottle, from State Line Liquors (Elkton, MD). Pours hazy straw-yellow color, topped with a thin white head that fades to a ring of bubbles. Interesting and enticing aroma is dominated by ginger, with contributions from anise, white pepper, green tea, and lemon. Lemon, ginger, and tea are the predominant flavors, with highlights of white pepper, basil, salt, and wheat. The flavor is not as impressive as the aroma, but its another really nice effort from Dr. Briem.

Aug 25, 2009 Pours pale gold into a shaker. Bright white head recedes to skim surface. Ginger, rosemary, caraway and anise aromas. Grainy green effervescent tea upfront with a lasting sour perfume finish.

Aug 21, 2009 Wow, this was an awesome (bottle) offering from Weihenstephan. Lots of ginger and citrus and such, finish is clean - sort of like a modified Berliner Weisse. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Aug 6, 2009 Like spicy rosemary ice tea. The absence of hops makes the other flavors really stand out.

Jul 18, 2009 Monty Ginger aroma. Warning: this is a foamy beer- be ready with more than one glass. Very tasty - tastes the way an herb garden smells... Basil, lavendar, lemon balm, Ginger and honey

Jul 9, 2009 16.9 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy pale peach color with a thin head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma is dominated by the ginger but also has some sage and lavender like herbal notes. Taste is very dry with strong citrus and ginger notes as well as a faint nondescript herbalness. Thin bodied. Interesting.

Jul 6, 2009 Strong spicy herbed aroma with lemony accents. Fresh and bright and somewhat medicinal. Fizzy white head with a yellow golden body. Flavors are citric and herbal. Lemon, ginger, bay leaves, and some rosemary is evident. Juice like texture with mild carbonation. Duration is short and slightly bitter. Refreshing.

Jul 2, 2009 Hazy milky yellow, almost witbier in appearance with a medium white head that fades rapidly. Aroma is very herbal, as you’d expect. Rosemary and ginger up front with bay leaves and something else I can’t put my finger on. Very interesting, I’ll give it that. Taste is well, overpowered by the freaking bay leaves. Somewhat oily in texture, as I plod through it I do pick up some of the other flavors listed on the bottle and perhaps some mint, but the bay leaves win out most of the time. Zippy peppery finish. Probably would work better as a marinade than as a beer. I guess I’m always up for something interesting and this qualifies but I probably won’t have it again.
