| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 8, 2009 (22oz bottle) Small white head atop crystal clear apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, chamomile, some honey. Taste is medium sweet, chamomile, light bread. Light-medium body. Really remarkable how strong the chamomile is -- never had anything like it. Certainly enjoyable, but can’t say I love it. jcwattsrugger (5573), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 19, 2009 22oz bottle-pours a dissipating white head and yellow/gold color. OK, after having half the bottle found yeast is at the bottom. Second half is hazy yellow/gold. Aroma is honey, herbal/floral/perfumy, light malt-bready. Taste is ginger/nutmeg-spice. OK carbonation. Interesting. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing. Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Pours copper and hazy with a white head. Smells of honey, spicy, earthy, tea, caramel, some sweetness I can’t quite place. Taste is multi-layered with lots of spicy elements and a nice mellow hint of chamomile on the finish. One of the best World Tour releases to date from this brewer. JoeMcPhee (5030), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2009 Slightly hazy pale golden beer. White head. The aroma is really interesting. Strong sweet cookie-dough nose with a lot of vanilla and soft biscuity malts. It smells a bit like Southern Tier’s Pumpking, but without all of the spiciness that defines that beer. A sweet sort of caramelly pie crust sweetness that I think works really well. Softly sweet with a kiss of gingery spice. It’s sort of granola-esque. It’s surprisingly tasty.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 16, 2008 Bottle from Capone’s. Pours deep gold with 1-finger white head. Nose is bready pale malt, perfumy florals, yeasty spice. Tastes tart, citric, with spice, bready grainy malt, and earthy yeast. The flavor profile is unlike any beer I’ve had before it, but it doesn;t blow me out of the water. Interesting but not great. Rciesla (3790), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Aroma of chamomile, honey, citrus, rye, and vanilla. Taste of honey, vanilla, rye, sour grapes, green apple, chamomile, and a dry, citric finish. TomDecapolis (3203), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
