Commercial Description:
Spring Seasonal, April 1st through June 30th Illumination is a unique botanical ale, deep violet-red in color, and flavored intensely with fine Chinese and Ceylonese black tea, elderberries and elderflowers, Oregon raspberry honey, lilac blossoms, fresh ginger, and other spices and aromatics. Rich malt body without being heavy or filling. This is a finely balanced beer unlike any other you've tasted! Medium-bodied, crisp and invigorating in its finish, and refreshing. O.G. 1.068/ 6.5 % abv/ Cascade hops/ German and English malts/ Black tea and other botanicals.

Very herbal flavor. Smooth with a good head. Strange flavor but very drinkable.
