600ml bottle. Hazy dark Orange pour, medium off white head. Aroma upfront in a big way is very medicinal. Lots of lavender, and green tea, and a lot of dried thyme. The barrel is slightly earthy, and adds a noticeable acidity. Woody, and vinous notes are present, and with a touch of tartness and a huge smack of thyme to finish it off. Very low bitterness and a full mouth feel, and soft carb. Interesting to say the least. I think this would have benefitted from more time in the barrel, to reel in the thyme flavour.

Thanks to AleRider78 for bringing this one back from the brewery. Celebrating Victoria Day weekend and my 100th review from Beau's. Pours a slightly hazed golden-amber colour with a beautiful, almost creamy warm cap, long lasting and adding some creamy lacing. Oh wow... amazing thyme aromas over the sweet fruity malts that give out rye notes. Flavours are so well-blended with the lighter herbs, fruitiness of the pinot gris barrels, tea and malts. A nice mildly dry mouthfeel with a slight bitter finish. This is so good!!

A hazed golden ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light white grapeskins, light rosemary, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with loads of rosemary and mint, bubble gum, alcohol warmth, very nice and interesting. Bottle at brewery.
