12 oz bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. Mostly clear straw to golden yellow with super tiny bits of sediment and a finger of off-white head. Aromas of herbs and spices, lemon lime citrus, honey. Almost like an herbal lemon tea. Tastes of big herbs, spices, lemon lime, honey, light floral notes. Medium body with a dry finish.

A lot of random elements in this. Pours cloudy orange/yellow with decent head and lacing. Nutmeg, ginger and booze in aroma. Finishes sweet. Kind of reminds me of the kind of bad Christmas candies relatives bring you back from holidays in Germany or Austria. Tap at Black Squirrel.

Bottle: $2.20 from Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Pours very pale yellow with only the hint of a head. Smells of skunk, grass, honey, and ginger. Taste of sweet honey, grasses, and burnt ginger... leaves an off aftertaste.

Served on draft at Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Pours a hazy peach color with a thin creamy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of honey, wheat, bitter malts, spice and a hoppy finish. The taste is sweet malts, honey, spices and a bit of toast. Medium bodied.

Coriander and ginger nose, slightly vegetal. Cloudy yellow, full of fine floaties, thin head. Coriander, candi sugar, peach flavor. Vegetal coriander finish. Full body, alcohol obvious. It’s like a spiced tripel, heavy coriander. Surprisingly good.

Had on tap at brewery and from the bottle. Poured a hazy golden color with a medium sized fluffy white head. Aroma was dry honey, spices, notes of biscuit and malts. Flavor had noticable amounts of honey, spice (coriander especially), bready yeast notes.
