| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 12, 2008 Pours a clear honey color, with a fizzy body, and a large, foamy head - aroma of honey-soaked bread, soft herbal characteristics, floral hops - medium body, full carbonation - dry and moderately bitter up front, with some herbal hoppiness - sweetness and bready malts come up from underneath that, but it is a clean sweetness, like cane sugar - this combines with the herbal character to create a brisk, tea-like flavor - finishes with lingering sweetness - a solid, refreshing o-fest.

smell is faint, some malt, some caramel.
taste is watery at first then thickens up, malt, touch of roasted nuts, caramel comes through in the back, bread dough, end is a tad chewy and leave the mouth oily, slight bitter aftertaste.
