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.

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.

Jul 26, 2009 Pours a light amber with some lace. Smells of malt, some zest, chamomile. Flavor is chamomile tea and biscuits. Honey used well and is not overpowering. All the grains give a good body to this brew. Very pleased.

Aug 21, 2009 Updated: Oct 7, 2009( 22oz bottle thanks to ballewblake) Pours an opaque orange, with little head. Nose is cinnamon, sour cherry, chamomile, and quite herbal. Smells amazing. Taste consists of honey, sour tart cherries and spices. The finish is crisp, linger is good, but the smell is definitely the best part of this one.

Feb 24, 2009 500ml bottle. Filtered orange-tan color. Mellow sweet aroma, maybe a touch of honey in it. The taste is sweet and smooth, relatively crisp and well-balanced for a beer assumably devoid of hops. The chamomile works out quite well, and does not dominate or stand out awkwardly. Some honey comes through as well, particularly in the finish. An interesting beer, post-Midas Touch, and I actually find this one preferable, albeit a little less elegant.

Mar 1, 2009 A great offering from VT. The pour is a muted clear brown with some light head. The smell is strong of the many grains and the sweetness of the honey that gives an outmeal cookie like expereince. The taste is again sweet from the many malts and the honry and finishes chamomile that makes this a good beer to relax with at night. well done otter creek.

Apr 3, 2009 22 ounce bottle from State Line. Pours a beautiful vibrant orange gold color. Clear with lazy carbonation. Thin head with decent retention and lacing. Aroma is earthy and nutty with honey and distinct floral notes. Taste is grainy and nutty with strong honey notes. As a previous rater points out... oatmeal cookie is spot on. Also some faint notes of chamomile and a very faint bitterness. Medium bodied and somewhat heavy on the tongue.
