Pours a cloudy amber, with little head and no lacing, very similar to their Mothership Wit. Odd aroma to say the least. Flavor is also odd. I’ve taken wormwood before as a supplement, and this definately has that flavor. I’m not sure why any brewer would consider it for a beer, but here we are. This has an odd medicinal flavor to it, that just doesn’t mesh. Palate is above average, as it is fairly creamy and smoother than I expected. Overall an interesting beer. I’m glad someone gave it a shot, but this isn’t one I’ll be buying again.

Jul 18, 2008 pous a hazy yellow color with large head. slight sour citrus in the noise, some spices. wormwood is not evident in the nose or taste. slight woody flavor may be due to the oak aging. not bad, but I wonder what the purpose was. I can’t think that this sells that much.

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy, light honey color with a big, billowy 3 finger white head with spotty lacing. Nose is slightly weird sour smell upfront with lemon grass and spice. Taste is similar to the aroma. Medium mouth feel. Strange brew, eh.

Jul 7, 2008 This essentially tastes very similar to Fat Tire, which I am not really a fan of. Same biscuit like malts observed in Fat Tire. Other than the 1554, none of what New Belgium imports into MN excites me. Now if we could get the abbey dubbel, abbey tripel, and La Folie, then I might get more excited about this brewery. I had this a beer tasting in a wine specialty store.

Jul 5, 2008 12 oz bottle in Lebanon, MO. Pours a hazy light yellow. Nice white head that dissipates quickly. I can’t quite place the smell, but the yeast is nice. Has a nice citrus aftertaste and is an overall nice average summer beer.

Summer in a bottle. Not overly intense as I expected when I saw wormwood listed on the bottle. Decent restrained beer that goes well with the heat.
