Nov 27, 2008 Cloudy orange in colour with a long lasting white coloured head, good lacing. The aroma has some spices jumping out at you, yeast, musty, very floral, some sweetness, noticeable alcohol. The flavour is of alcohol upfront, orange citrus, some spice and lots of yeast, perfume. Slightly alcoholic mouthfeel, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes long with the spice continuing, alcohol warmth.
The aroma was way more spicy then the flavour, the alcohol was overpowering at times, not really a sense of balance or direction it seems.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear dark yellow with a small, fizzy, white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, straw, meal), average hops (flowers, perfume), average yeast (horse blanket, earth) with notes of alcohol, bubble gum, and pears. Medium bodied, slick texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Oct 1, 2008 Pours a transparent deep bronze golden with a well-lacing dense froth of off-white head. Has a sweet caramely floral nose with a touch of honey and yarrow. Body starts with good fullness and sweet biscuity Belgian malt with a spicy, earthy rooty flavor that provides a bitter balance, before a doughy yeasty finish with some alcoholic warmth. An interesting and fairly complex brew.

Sep 29, 2008 Golden color with a spicy aroma dominated by citrus and a whole spice rack. Flavor is excessively spicy, and dominates all else to its detriment. This one was ruined for me by being excessively spiced. Interesting, but excessive.

Aug 23, 2008 Cloudy golden-orange colour. The aroma is herbal, spicy (mint, chamomile, cinnamon) and toasty with breadcrusty malts and rye. Huge herbal character - must be the yarrow - with lots of chewy rye, full maltiness. Big and rounded with a peppery finish. Very unique, well-balanced brew with accents of both Belgium and gruit. Impressive effort, muddled only by a slighlty overt yeastiness.

Aug 22, 2008 Pours an unbeatably beautiful frosted bright golden hopeful hue. Small cream-colored head. Aromatic, herbal, and floral as expected. Also aromas of lemon-lime, yeasty funk, ginger ale, and lager. Tastes strong. Alcohol apparent immediately and lingers. Mouthfeel reminiscent of Unibroue: has a highly carbonated texture. Lots of grapefruit flavors including pith and peel with some sulfur. Nice hops on the back of the tongue. Juniper and gin flavors abounding. I’m appreciating the nuances and the history of the yarrow.
