Oct 11, 2009 ( 22oz bottle, courtesy of AmEricanBrew ) Pours a hazy brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma of thyme, sage, honey, grass, and orange peel. Flavor of orange, caramel, pepper, thyme, bay leaves, sage, and some other spices. Interesting, but could not drink much of this. Alcohol well hidden.

Aug 1, 2009 Bottle shared by shigadeyo.
Poured a clear brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Good aroma of spice,yeast, and roasted malt. Medium to full body with thick smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy bitter&sour flavor with a complex bittersweet finish of medium to long duration.
Interesting complex brew.

Jun 25, 2009 Draft at Cafe Amsterdam. Wow, what an artful beer. It’s awesome that Midnight Sun collaborated with Anchorage’s best publican to create this unique beer ... you don’t see gruit every day. And I couldn’t drink a lot of this either. It’s definitely an acquired taste, in some ways related to Belgian sours maybe, drinking with a puckeringly tart character, but also exceptionally sweet. Spicy and floral, like tip-toeing thru the daisies, herbal, mountain-y. Artwork in a glass. (#3564, 6/24/2009)

Aug 24, 2009 Bottle shared by JW77 and wow this is good stuff!! Brown pour, small head. Aroma is caramel, light chocolate, herbal notes and some funk. Flavor is MUCH more tart than I would have guessed. Damn this is good. Cannot even taste the alcohol. Just some spices, wood, sourness, earthy funk and pure deliciousness. Seek this one out for sure!!
