Feb 23, 2009 Cloudy yellow with no head. That is one spicy mamma jamma! Rosemary, black pepper, flowers, cinnamon and mint al lin there. Complex herbal palate is fairly peppery and finishes with a distinct rosemary note. Very refreshing, almost gingery. I could drink a lot of this - have I met a gruit I don’t like yet?

Oct 28, 2008 Bottle… Murky, straw-colored ale. Spicy, yeasty, herbal nose. To me, the things that really stand out are lemon peel, ginger and something very sarsaparilla-like - probably a synergetic result of blending all those herbs. Light to medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. Mildly sweet, lightly acidic and not at all bitter, but very herbal. Crisp, herbal, refreshing finish. They went out and tried to create something traditional, tasty and wacky – and succeeded. A great change-of-pace beer. I’d drink this on a regular basis if it were more available to me.

Sep 10, 2009 Colour as freshly pressed pineapple juice; very carbonated to medium, irregular and lively white head. Very strong aromatic smell of fresh herbs as lavender, rosemary, bog myrtle, ginger, and other similes. Smells like the mix for roast lambrack - and a pot from the bathroom shelf. Very obvious rosemary in the tate - the lambrack reappearing - or Mediterranean crisps - spritzy sourness. Refreshing despite the soapy aromatics, the CO² undoubtely helping. Medium bodied at best. Interesting? Absolutely and more so. Refreshing? No doubt. Drinkable? Ye-es... but I doubt in large quantities. Many thanks to Der Doppelbock for this one!

Aug 9, 2008 500 ml bottle. Very pale yellow-white beer with a thin fast-fading white head. The aroma is great. Loaded with fresh herbs, light lemony coriander, citrusy sweetness and a bright lavender/floral quality as well. There is a nice sweet spearmint sweetness that I find very appealing. Bright citrus and wheaty spiciness initially on the palate. Through the middle is nice rosemary/thyme pine herbal character. Nicely refreshing lightness with a soft wheaty finish. As the beer warms, a very light licorice richness adds yet another layer of complexity. Very unique and very delicious.
