Aug 24, 2009 Lips of Faith bottling in a bomber. Poured into a pint glass. Pours a hazy amber gold color with a creamy, thick, light beige head. Very nice lacing. Aroma is obviously lemony and although I’ve never had lemon verbena I imagine that’s what it’s from. Comes off less acidic and more like lemon sorbet though. Also some sweet grainy character in the smell. Honey, graham, some lemon tartness, a smidgeon of bretty funk in the form of phenols, sweet bread, light earthiness. Rather complex for a NB beer but all the notes are on the sweet side which limits the drinkability a bit. Mouthfeel is solid with a nice heft on the palate and a good but not quite Belgian fineness of carbonation. Better than I expected.

Apr 25, 2009 On tap at the Crow’s Nest in Santa Cruz. Cloudy golden orange in color with nose of fruit and candy with foamy off white head, very nice. Tastes of banana, bread, with that sweetness of candy coming through. Kinda chewy. Nice overall.

Oct 18, 2009 Serving: 22 oz. Lips of Faith bottle.
Appearance: Hazy orange color with a small, foamy, off-white head.
Aroma: Spicy, slightly funky nose with notes of hay, yeast, and a slight vegetal note that actually works well.
Flavor: It reminds me of a light pumpkin ale. A little malty, some almost chocolate notes, a bit of fruitiness and spice.
Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-short finish.
Overall: Spice and sessionable. Not too bad!
