From notes back in 2011. Had on draft.

A: pours a cloudy, amber body with small white head, with pretty solid retention and lacing
S: coriander, lemon smell with hints of citrus smelling, grapefruit rind hops; combo of it all does make it smell like a band-aid
T: interesting, string herbal taste; coriander in the forefront; hints of ginger
M: medium bodied and fairly smooth; a little on the light side
D: ok mouthfeel and taste combo; decent drinking beer overall; interesting beer

It has been awhile since I have had this. This was an interesting beer. Very piney with aspects that might lead to the conclusion of a possible Belgium yeast. Up front is s spicey alot of things going on here. Finishes with a pine maybe juniper berry Note.nNote. not bad to me. It's like the beer equivalent to chartreuse
