A light, unobtrusive lavender nose and flavor. A slight hint of cinnamon comes from lavender stems (for you lavender geeks). Our answer to shandy-style beer. This is designed to be a light, easy-drinking porch beer (or lawn mower beer!).

tap at the brewery - Pours light yellow with a small white head. It’s sweet, light, and refreshing. For quite awhile I don’t taste or smell lavender but as it warms it comes through first in the aroma and then a little bit in the taste. Decent brew.

From a 12 oz bottle at the Beer Head BBQ in Falls Church VA. Pours a hazy pale gold with an off white head. Light citrus nose. Lavender aroma. Flavor of bubble bath. Meh.

22 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 8/28/2013. Pours moderately hazy golden straw color with a 2 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of lavender, lemon, pear, apple, wheat, bread, honey, floral, grass, ginger, light cinnamon, light clove, and herbal earthiness. Very nice and interesting aromas with good lavender, malt and light hop balance; with good strength. Taste of lavender, lemon, pear, apple, wheat, bread, honey, floral, grass, ginger, light cinnamon, clove, pepper, and herbal earthiness. Light floral/pepper bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, pear, wheat, bread, honey, floral, light cinnamon, light clove, and pepper on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity and balance of lavender, malt, and light hop flavors; with nice robustness and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly creamy, smooth, and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with no warming present on the finish. Overall this is a very nice spiced wheat ale! All around good balance and robustness of flavors; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
