12oz bottle rated 8.22.09. Pours a sugary looking bright glowing orange with a thing white froth 2.5. Smells like a Sand Creek beer, biscuits and crackers, with some herbalness. Flavor follows, lightly sweet, medicinal with some bitterness.

Bottle thanks to 17thfloor. Orange with creamy white head. Smells like biscuit malt, really chalky and minerally, a little lemony, not very good. Flavor is minerally, sweeter herbal, sulphury and septic, medicinal, weird, a little vegetal as well. Light and well carbonated. Blehhhhhh.

Single bottle into a pint glass Aroma is water and minerals. Flavor is sweet malt with blatant herb flavors that remind you of dry tea and mild tobacco.

nose seems suprisingly devoid of herbal elements. mostly lager yeast and some light toffee malt. flavor starts with a hint of toffee crunch then moves to the herbs. the flavors are foreign to me and very difficult to describe, it ends with a strong metallic note. i bought this as part of a ’make your own 6 pack’ and grabbed this one with a laugh, assuming it would be horrid. its not quite good, and im not sure how many of these i could drink consecutively but its no where near as bad as i assumed.

Amber with a medium off white head that turns back into liquid at a slow rate. Aroma of mixed grains, herbal hops and ginseng. Taste is overpowered by the herbal hops but I guess I knew what I was getting into when I bought the beer. Semi dry herbal finish with some tea like qualities. Ok to try once but the herb/beer combo is hit or miss and this one misses.

Poured amber with a lot of black floating particles. Aroma was earthy with a hint of mint. Taste was sweet to start, earthy, gritty and notes of mineral water. Basically it tasted like beer with a bunch of roots and bark floating in it. Probably because it was beer with a bunch of roots and bark floating in it.

interesting, yet not very exciting. the herbal flavors remind me of a heavily crusted piece of herb bread. kinda of funky yet in a good way.

pours a cloudy light brown color. grassy scent with some mint and hops. some sediment in the glass as well. nice taste of hops and herbs. I would purchase this again.
