May 26, 2008 Cloudy tan colour. Very fruity, slightly funky, yeasty aroma. Bracinginly dry yeastiness, with a hint of tartness. Too yeasty for my preference.

Jun 7, 2008 Draft at Green Dragon in Portland. Soft peach colored hazy body. Cotton and paper flavor, along with dry apricot skins and a strange staleness throughout. Nose is pale, weak, empty, stale, improves with temperature, thankfully, but I can’t get over the stale apricot skins and notebook paper flavors.

Aug 8, 2008 RBSG: Tap @ Toronado. Poured a slight hazed gold color with an off-white head. The aroma was of citrus hops and sweet bready malt. The flavor was mildly tart with some yeasty notes and toasted malt. Yeasty bitter finish. Light-medium body.

Jun 8, 2008 On tap at Vino’s in Little Rock. The body was cloudy gold with a bright white head. The aroma was malty with some fruit and Sweet Tarts. There was also a little note of funk. The taste was leathery with some citrus fruit. There was also a little bit of funk. Medicinal and herbal in the finish. A decent and interesting beer.

Jun 4, 2008 On tap at Max & Joe’s Tavern. Pours a rich golden color with orange cloudy tones and a thick white head. The aroma signals that this is very Belgian in style with an initial clove scent that gives way to big lemon smells when warmed. The flavor was slightly disappointing because I had expected it to be undrinkable a la battery acid (La Folie). However, this proved to be a very sweet beer with flowery honeysuckle flavors mixed with a good spicy medicinal Belgian profile. This is quite smooth and drinkabe for a wide range of palates, so I suppose that NB has sold out and gone commercial on its Lips of Faith series.
