Gruit Style Lavender ale.
Co-fermented with ale yeast and lactobacillus plantarum for a clean profile and soft yet lemonade-like sourness. Aged on local hand-screened lavender flowers from Windward Lavender Farm in Chilliwack.
Nicely tart with a big lavender aroma and light lavender spiciness in the finish. Drinks like a lavender lemonade and soothes like aromatherapy.

473ml can. (4.9% ABV) Pours a clear gold with a thin, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Spicy aroma of lavender, ginger, cinnamon and lemon. Sweet, spicy flavour of lemon, ginger, lavender and earthy yeast in a tart lacto finish. Light body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink. Not bad.

Lavender and some sour citrus. Clearish gold with a small white head. Lavender and very tart. Pretty simple but exactly as described.

Aroma is nice lavender, not too bright, and a few hints of sour lager in the background. Has a clearish deeper yellow body and minimal head. Flavour is a good mix of fruity sourness. Mouthfeel is just okay. It's a nice mix, well crafted and refreshing.

Nice lavender nose, sour, good balance, good complexity. Not balanced, but the two elements play off each other nicely, and I happen to enjoy this heavy lavender.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy pale blond colour. White bread, some dough and yeast, but also pleasant lemon touch and a hint of lavender, with no bitterness. A bit soapy.
Refreshing.
