Poured from a cask. Slightly hazy golden yellow with white head. A tons of herbal notes on the nose. Starts with mild herbal sweetness, then the bitter wormwood bark hits along with spruce sap and juniper. Absolutely worth the try as it’s a very unique beer, but I would I probably wouldn’t have more than a 5 oz taster.

At the source: pours golden with white head. Aroma is bark, juniper, tree. Taste is super bitter and barky. Interesting but too much. might be drainpour for many.

Cask at Caskapalooza, Craft Beer Market, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color. The aroma is between herbs, mint and moth balls. Not much beer flavor, smooth mouthfeel, herbal flavor like genepy (an Alpine herb), light residual sweetness.
Weird as usual from Storm.
Not bad, but I wouldn’t drink a full glass of it.

On cask at Craft Beer Market, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out strong wormwood notes that dominate - not really getting any hops. Flavour brings out tons of the wormwood, with licorice, mint and some buried hops somewhere underneath. Nice gimmick beer but I don't really enjoy this.
