Courtesy of fishingnet. Pours very pale gold with faint haze and bright white head. The aroma is vibrant, bold and perfumy. Wow. I get bay leaves, anise, rosemary, assorted spices, flower pedal notes and a hodgepodge of lighter and less discernable aromatics. The taste is big, crisp, refreshing and just plain good. I get the bay leaves as noted in the nose to go along with mild lemon notes, rosemary, anise and orange peel. The flavor has a lot going on. Lively tasty and well crafted brew. Makes me wonder why there aren’t more out there like this.

I love it when brewers try something different, or in this case, an historic style seldom seen today. Complex aroma. Mint, grass, wheat, some yeast, and malt. Cloudy yellow color and a surprisingly complex flavor with lemon, ginger and wheat. It tastes very fresh. Medium palate. Overall there is an herbal, wildflower character. Very nice. Refreshing.

Cloudy gold, witbier-looking ale - there is some wheat, citrus and grass in the aroma, but the smell is mostly dominated by a strong cocktail of spices and herbs (ginger, anise, and rosemary are most prominent, but there are some notes of thyme and mint leaves) - fairly tart, nearly sour up front, followed by a soft wheaty character that lays the foundation for the spices to come to the fore - ginger, rosemary and thyme are fairly strong components, buy there is a bitter herb I can’t place, and the bay becomes noticeable near the end - some peppery character arrives late - I can see how people would be put off by this, but I love food with complex spice combinations (like indian food), and this would go really well with stuff like that.
