Pours a pale, opaque gold color with little head in the tulip glass. Notes of coriander, honey, and ... lavender? Not much to speak of in the nose. The beer is light in the mouth with little carbonation, which is an interesting combination. Serious lack of malt, almost like a lager. Strong grape taste which fades to alcohol to light herby flavor. Bitter aftertaste is the only hint of hops in this 'nectar'. I'm not sure if this is a beer or a mead, it's so sweet. But the bitterness at the end really saves it. This would be good in 100 degree weather, but I'm not sure if it's something to keep on the shelf for regular use. Like most DFH brews, this isn't much more than a curiosity.
