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.

Jul 2, 2009 Pours a hazy pale gold with a quarter-inch white head that fades quickly. Nose is full of spices: ginger, rosemary and anise. Flavor is soft and dry: malty with a heavy dose of spices, especially ginger and rosemary, bay leaves. Finish is light and bitter with a tangy hop thing going on and even more dark spice. Different, but very good. Like a spicy Berliner Weiss on steroids. Very tasty.

Jun 25, 2009 Pours a hazy sunny yellow with a small tight white head. Aroma is remarkably pungent and has notes of lemon, Vicks vapor rub, tons of ginger, anise, and some somewhat muted floral tones particularly that of roses. The flavor has some good lemony sour notes with plenty of spicy ginger, some banana, some weird meatiness, and a little yeast. By the time I was done with this the complexities were not as forward and it pretty much tasted like the best gourmet ginger ale I’ve ever had. A very interesting and good beer.

Jun 21, 2009 Pours a hazy yellow with a decent white head. Rich aroma is malty and just a little bit fruity, rather appetizing. Flavor is mainly malty, slightly yeasty, with an undertone of fruit and a little bit of an alcohol bite. Smooth, fizzy, edgy texture helps it glide down the pipes.

Jun 1, 2009 Pours like a hefe in turbidity but not in the head. This sparkling yellow ale greets you with a sexy slap of all the spices listed on the lablel. The bay leaves and ginger start out strong. Rosemary and caraway show up later. For that, this is a very complex albeit a deviation from normal fare. Light carbonation, wheat sourness, and earthy bitterness (anise?) clean up this very appetizing creation. Overall, while I won’t be buying by the case this is afun and refreshing beer to drink as I spend my time looking for the ingredients. Solid recommendation for a hangover, scores points for being weird. 89
