Growler from LCB. Light misty gold with small swirly white top. Very floral jasmine aroma with hints of spice. Its crisp with clean malts and lots of jasmine and some floral and spice hop in the finish. Often I struggle with botanical beers but this one goes down very well. I still think it more of a one off beer experience, not sure its sessionable by lager standards. Enjoyable though.

440ml can. Clear pale yellow, white head. Aroma is floral and herbal, jasmine, bay leaves. Taste of jasmine, bay leaves, mild citrus, grainy malts. Clean, crisp, dry, with a mildly bitter finish. Really pleasant use of adjuncts. Enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

Can. A light haze on this pale yellowish gold beer, decent bubbly white head but it fades quickly. Palate is light, mildly dry and has a good fine minerally crispness. The thin malts bring the right amount of sweetness. Some suitable lager tang in the mid. Back end is all about Jasmine, it's quite floral and moving towards perfumey. Bay leaf and Loral hop fruits play 2nd and 3rd fiddle in that order. Light semi dry finish. Interesting lager, I like it but I am not sure I could session it and a lager should always be sessionable for me.
