12oz bottle. Poured a darker and cloudy orange/amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of a general herbalness, floral, caramel, and grass. Tastes of grass, caramel, and light herbs. The description scared me - but the herbal side to this one was on the subtle and not overpowering side. Thinner body.

This pours a thin, dull range with an off-white head that settles down to ringship quite abruptly. The aroma is grassy with a little soil tossed in. Watery. Actually not too bad once you get passed all that, kind of like a thin APA with dull herbs instead of hops. Still - I’ve had all I want.

This is an interesting looking beer. It looks like an ale and is tea colored, somewhat cloudy, and moderately carbonated. Well, I forgot to take my vitamin today, so drinking this beer should help. Actually, what the ginseng and ginko biloba do here is unclear. It makes for an interesting gimmick, but does it help the flavor? The mouthfeel is pretty thin. The middle of the tongue gets a slight tingle, though. There is a little bit going on with this beer and its flavors and they are all very subtle. Grass is evident as is some tangerine. The herbal aspect is also subtle. There are some herbal tea influences. Overall, I found this to be a reallly interesting and unique beer. It was very refreshing but it could almost pass for a health drink. However, if I had wanted a health drink that is what I would have bought. I wanted a beer.

Rusty orange with a firm foam topping. Grassy aroma. My first impression is of the watery consistency. But the flavors are interesting ... vegetabley, lightly hoppy and earthy. Like other raters, don’t get the gingko/guarana additives ... why!?

Medium orange body that is approaching amber. Aroma of pears with some basil. There is also a hint of honey and a little bit of earthy leaves. The taste has some rich herbs with a little hint of apples and carrot juice. Actually, the taste is refreshing. A medium body with low carbonation.

Honey Graham coloring with Brown/White Skin. Light Malt Aroma. Lightly Flowery, Herbal. Dry/Sweet Ending. A Bit Unbalanced, but Enjoyable Enough for an Herbal Brew.

Light gold color with a thin head. Spicy aroma. Very strange array of flavors. The usual suspects are not here, but instead it turns into what a GNC smells like; a little like fertilized grass. I’ll take this in an energy drink, but not beer.

Hazy copper with a small off white head that doesn’t last long, no lacing either. Not much aroma, a bit of grass and caramel. Bready medicine flavors not very pleasant, medium bodied with a watery mouthfeel, finishes on the dry side with a funny lemony aftertaste. I had only bought one bottle and thats all I want.
