Sep 23, 2009 Dark orange pour with a fluffy head. Aroma has some spice and some lemony citrus. Flavor is very green, some bitter hops, grain, yeast and spice. Pepper and clove with some fresh cut grass. Nice.

Aug 31, 2009 75 cl bottle at the RB Rochester Gathering, Sept. 09. Thanks, ElJefe.
Medium amber color with huge carbonation and a large head. Big, fragrant, flowery aroma: lots of ginger in there, though they didn’t add it. Flowery, very sweet flavor. Again tastes a lot like a real ginger ale. Nice, pillowy palate. Interesting as hell, though maybe a bit over the top with the flowers!

Aug 20, 2009 [2370-20090801] Sample. Sweet floral ginger aroma has notes of lemon rind. Hazy, light orange brown body with a medium-lasting bubbly white head. Ginger tart yeast flavour has a bit of a lemon finish. Medium body. Good.

Aug 12, 2009 750 (about a year old) in Duvel glass. Hazy copper caramel color with lasting flat head and lace. Yeasty hoppy spicy floral aroma with touch of alcohol. Soft sweet vanilla peach with complex arrangement of spicy herbs and hops. One of the flowers is irritating, tastes like cinnamon, but otherwise this is a nicely crafted complex ale.

Aug 5, 2009 2009-08-01. Hazy golden amber body with a modest off-white head. Aroma is moderately floral and herbal. Flavour is lightly bitter, some mild flavours and sweet underlying malt. Average palate. Decent, I think it suffered a bit as a relatively subtle beer following up a more assertive Captain Lawrence. Still rather pleasant, and if given the opportunity I will return for a more contemplative visit. On tap at BCTC 2009

Pouring at the SH booth at BCTC. Pours a hazy golden amber with a thin white head, but very still looking. Flowery, smelling of chamomile tea, yeast, and pears. Very pretty. Flavors don’t echo the flower tea aromas quite as strongly, leaning towards a spiced plum and caramel vent, but overall very tasty.

Aug 1, 2009 On tap at Capones. Golden orange color with a medium white head. Had flower smell to it. Taste of spice and flowers as well. Not my thing

Aug 1, 2009 All flowers (lavendar) on the nose. Golden amber color-clear. Tastes of lavendar with some hops. Very different. Better as it warms, but not exciting.
