This is the second beer developed by Laura Bell to explore the use of lemon verbena, a lemon-scented herb originally from South America. Dry "hopped" with lemon verbena, lemon zest and Sorachi Ace hops, this beer has citrus aromas with a medium malt body.

Draught at the Ginger Man, Manhattan, 10/9/16.
Minimally hazy, orange-copper-golden body is topped by a sparse, white head with low retention.
Paper, cardboard, stale nuts and finally some pine sap with a pinch of caramel and no alcohol.
Rather bland, over-attenuated, with some sour, pine-laden hops and sourdough, wax, nuttiness and seltzer water on the end. Low carbonation, no alcohol. I guess no one is drinking Bells in NYC and this has just sat on tap too long? Hard to imagine Bells could make something this terrible, though they certainly seem to be a shell of their former self.

On tap at the Eccentric Cafe. Pours a clear gold with an orange hue and a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has rich citrus with a touch of resin and a grain backbone. Flavor has more sweet citrus with a grain backbone and a bit of bitter grapefruit coming through.
