Had on tap @Hingham location..served into a pint glass.

Appearance: gold in color, 1/4 inch head, clear, moderate carbonation

Smell: rosemary, herbs, and floral hops

Taste: rosemary, herbs, grain, and floral hops

Mouthfeel: light bodied, moderate carbonation, sweet start with a bitter middle and a more bitter end

Overall: I was surprised with how well this actually worked. I have had some herb beers that were like drinking soup. This beer actually showcases the IPA and how it blends with the rosemary. Not more than one per sitting, but one to get again.

Serving type: on-tap

A- an amber body that is slightly orange and hazy with thin layers of lacing hanging to the edges.

S- what a blast of Rosemary! Very authentic in that sense. Extremely herbal.... And I mean very. Even spicy on the exit

T- combine a mouthful of Rosemary with an ale experience

M- carbonation is good with the flavor

O- this is an excellent novelty beer! Spicy and herbal combinations are the extent. It's worth trying

Serving type: cask
