PorterPounder (2753), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Apr 1, 2008 Brandon, Fl. - Kingdom Liquors - 22 oz bomber. Murky, yet brightly colored peach-orange colored pour with a spritzy white head. Aroma of dried fruit - apricots come to mind - not unpleasant - just not appealing. Flavor is starchy with some faint fruity notes, hard to describe earthy hints, not all that beer-like - more like an herbal tea. Mouthfeel is rather harsh and pasty. The "organicness" of this really jumps out and does not present itself well.
DuffMan (1868), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jul 14, 2008 Near-amber golden colour, really quite bronzy. Aroma of grainy wet straw and twiggy green vegetation. Flavour is sweet pale malt with a vegetal hop quality and a subtle ginger note. Finish is dry and mildly bitter. Interesting. Bradrcr (529), Renton, Washington, USA May 24, 2008 5/17/08 From the bottle. This brew had a strong herbal aroma of sweet malt and flowery notes. Appearance is clear gold with a low white head. Flavor is very herbal, kind of citrus, with notes of fruit skins, malt has an even sweet/sour blend, kind of like wheat, with very low bittering. Mouthfeel is low bodied with a low carb texture and kind of creamy. Overall, interesting, but not delicious. AmEricanbrew (816), Left Coast, Louisiana, USA May 13, 2008 Dark straw color with a huge rocky head. Big nose of mate, orange peel, herbs and dry pale malts. Medium body with a smooth creamy mouthfeel. Earthy mate driven flavors here with some dusty pale malts and spices. A unique and tasty brew here. Try this for breakfast, mate has lots of caffiene. mardermax (71), santa cruz, California, USA May 8, 2008 This is a bitter beer. However it’s not the usually pungent, heady bitterness of an IPA. Instead it overwhelms the palate with an earthy flavor reminiscent of certain nonalcoholic beverages-which makes sense. At first the flavor may come as a surprise, the froth is almost odorless which gives little warning of the bitterness to come, but one will quickly start to appreciate the briskness of the taste. It’s quite refreshing, like an iced tea or a cold shower. AgentSteve (606), Livermore, California, USA May 6, 2008 On tap, poured fizzy pale yellow with a fluffy white head. Nose was a bid funky and bitter. I didn’t think I would like this too much, but it was a free sampler, and I actually found it quite refreshing. Much smoother and sweeter than the nose with a clean finish. I wouldn’t pay for it, but I’d drink a free one if it was hot!
