Really dig this beer.

Smells like an herb garden. Ginger and lemon cut through immediately, but followed by something like cloves or cardamom. Pours a great yellow with very little head and almost no lacing. I don't find it overcarbonated, but rather, really refreshing and crisp. The ginger flavor is welcome, especially when paring this beer with food. Gives some interesting results. After the beer warms a bit i think the flavors are even more pronounced and delicious.

The beer pours a whitish yellow hue with a cloudy, foamy, thick white head. The bubbles in the bottom were constantly rising, it's very active.

It smells of fresh lemon and grass with some orange and wheat aroma. I tasted lots of citrus (mostly lemon) and a little spice followed by a smooth sweet malty flavor. It is medium bodied and silky with lots of soft bubbly carbonation and a crisp finish.

Wow, this brew is almost flawless, there is absolutely nothing negative to say about this beer.

Clear faded orange glow billowy bright white head that fades quickly. Sweet and exotic spice upfront. Corrinder, Ginger snap on the sides of the tongue. Rich feeling in the mouth but light and fluffy. Sweet pears and apples on the tip of the tongue, tangerines, belgian like spice. Tastes vinous like a chardonnay. Finishes clean with a soft underlying bitterness that mellow the flavors out. Spice and ginger linger. A really unique brew. It really does taste like a belgian blonde was brewed with over the tope spices and lagered. Clean complex fun and delicious. I like it. (it actually smells like a Sauvigion Blanc no lie). Faint peppery finish. Unlike anything i've ever had and super unique.

Bottled, no date I could find which may be an issue. I have had the bottle in cool dark for about two months.

Poured hazy golden color, quite a bit of frothy head that dissipated quickly to next to nothing. Aroma didn't give me anything. No spices, maybe a little beer like smell, but nothing much. Taste was similarly disappointing. Little hints of spice, but muddled and not able to identify. Somewhere mid sip, I get a strange flavor that reminds me of potpourri or almost like a lip gloss. Very odd. Not highly carbonated, slight tingle.

Not quite sure what to make of this. Reminds me of a witte but not getting the coriander and citrusy hops. Middle of the road is best I can do on this bottle, might try again to confirm the findings.

Nice-looking and smooth tasting beer. Not a tremendous amount of depth or complexity. Satisfying but light. Could use some more spiciness for the style. More like a witbier to me. Based on others, this seems to be a pretty decent brewery, albeit not necessarily the absolute elite.
