Bottle. Aroma of straw for the malt, heavy grass and lemon for the hops, cobwebs for the yeast and background notes of white wine, wood, honey and apricot. Head is thin, with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is a slightly hazy honey color. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a soft carbonation. Not bad, different I’d say. Tastes like a cross between mead and beer.

Bottle thanks to hopdog. Pours a very pretty, hazy golden-yellow. Fizzy head. Nose is quite floral, both from flowers and hops. I do get some of the chamomile notes, a touch spicy and a little bit of acidity and funk. Taste is much of the same, very soft and floral. Super light beer for the abv and clean. I could drink a ton of this. Nice acidity that helps with the floral notes. Fantastic.

Thanks to David for bringing the 750! Poured slightly hazy medium golden with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up slightly sour pale malts with much more character from the green floral and yeasty accents.. delicate and delightful! The flavor found fruity and pale malts on the core with chamomile and other floral notes around.. touch of sourness on the edges.. great balance the whole way through. Medium-bodied on the palate.. slightly spicy, slightly sour, and entirely wonderful!

Bottle at Hop Devil on New Years Eave. A pleasant, floral, herbal tea flavor makes this a uniquely enjoyable beer.

750ml bottle from NYbeer, thank you Steven. Dark gold pour with a small white head. actually smell like flowers, a bit muted, but its there. My sister in-law said it was lovely. A bit spicy and very floral, and very light tasting, but very good. Weird, but good.

Fabulous beer. Great as an aperitif, or with light appetizer. Complex aroma of fruit, flower and spice. Soft, earthy, spicy, finish lingers with flowers and spice.

Pours a copper color with plenty of minute particulate, and a thin foamy white head. Aroma is very floral - the lavender, chamomile, and marigold. Taste is spicy, some orange, spice, marigold, and lavender.

Bottle shared by BVC. Thanks Brandonn! Compled aromas of flowers, perfume, wheat, pepper, spice, mint. Golden orange with a nice foamy head. Just spicy, floral, and perfumey. Really nice. The flavor is nice and fruity up front. Notes of oranges, flowers, spice, pepper, mint, some lavender too. I really enjoyed the complex spices and sprite carbonation.
