Crisp hazy golden coloured body with a thick, four centimetre tall white head. Aroma of hay, grass, honey, yeast and a bit of alcohol - very nice and pungent. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence with rose petals, lavender, coriander seed, curacao, flowers, apples, honey, hay, grass and a good deal of wheat - very nice and super complex, especially for the style. Aftertaste is rich and well-rounded with the grassy and hay flavours at first making the spices and complex character that much more full. Overall, a very well-crafted beer with a lot of nuances and a great profile throughout - very nice to try! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased just a few minutes ago at Whole Foods (Bowery) in New York, New York on 18-June-2015 for US$3,99 sampled in my hotel room here on Bowery in New York on 18-June-2015.

Bottle - hazy pale gold - nose of cardamom, white pepper, honey, wildflower, lemon, grass, light muskiness - nice frothiness in he mouth - flavor is dry up front, moderately spicy/peppery - honey sweetness later, but some countering dry mineral character - white pepper, lemon peel, grass, ginger - very tasty beer.
