Dec 20, 2007 Pours a haze filled golden orange. A light earthy aroma with a touch of cirus is about all I can smell in this one. The taste is mainly hops and some herb.

Nov 30, 2007 I’m a yerba mate drinker so this was a surprising find. Yerba mate is an "acquired taste," and I never thought I’d see it married with beer. Appearance-wise, it had a bright orange opaqueness with a thinnish head. Malts were mild, slightly toasty and earthy. Hops were faint, providing only a tame bitterness. Yerba mate was surprisingly noticeable, and it seemed to blend well with the malts/hops. I noticed some other spicy notes, but I couldn’t tell if they were from the hops or just random esters. This beer has some real "tea-like" qualities, even though yerba mate is technically not tea (it’s an herb). The YM even seems to contribute a pinch of smokiness. Overall, I thought the beer was kind of nice ... even a bit refreshing. But I may be slightly biased.

Nov 23, 2007 Vegetative and green olive nose with a bit of very weird funk (in a bad way). Astringent and herbal palate. Mildly vegetative finish.

Nov 17, 2007 hefeweizen appearance - hazy, golden hue with frothy head. Grass scented earth hops with a mild, unassuming initial taste and cola-like after taste - perhaps the mate’s influence?
