bottle.
Well, looks great! bright yellow pour with a white head. Now this is where things go off the rails. Where is the green tea, and ginseng? There is a slight sweetness int he aroma that i would atribute to the malt, but nothing else, and some stale hops. The flavor is boring, and bland. There is really nothing there. There is MAYBE a touch of tea in the finish, with an odd sweet/sour bite that my throat can’t shake. PASS!

Gimicky. Glad I paid only $2 for a taster at the Rhino summer fest and didn’t have to drink a full bottle of this. What’s the point? Golden cloudy with a little head and lacing. Some green tea. I guess it stops cancer but otherwise? Ughh.

Bottle, 65cl, courtesy of Enjoyit. A hazy, golden beer with a small, off-white head. IPA-like aroma with pinecones and some lemon peel. Malty sweetness. The flavor is quite bitter and hoppy with citrus peel and grapefruit. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Lasting, bitter finish with grapefruit and citrus peel. A quite nice one. Can’t really say I found the tea and ginseng in this one. 110129

Originally rated September 2009. Interesting blend for a beer. Pours a hazy copper-beige colour with a nice creamy white head that has good retention and lacing like a micro. Nicely carbonated too, with tiny bubbles that are consistent. Smells grainy at first, but then, turns into this beautiful sweet honey aroma and the herbal tea in the background. Semi-smooth, but mostly watery mouthfeel overall which not much bit in the finish. Nothing bad in the taste, but lacking a bit of punch. Wants to be sweet, but too watery and falls short, with a little green tea in the aftertaste. A nice idea, but lacing in the taste department.

Bottle @ Ulfborg Weekend, Jan 2011. Pours clear golden with a small off white head. Very grassy and bitter. Punchy hoppy nose and flavor. Dry, crisp and smooth.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Enjoyit. Comes as "Project X" with green foil, no neck label for further explanation. And I certainly don’t pick up any green tea, so I doubt this is in the right place. Anyways, pours amber with a slight haze and a small off-white head. Intense citrusy hop aroma. Medium body, a little caramel with a massive dose of citrusy hops leaving solid IBU’s. This comes out as a straight and very hoppy IPA. 290111

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur ambrée-dorée et semi-voilée. Nez fruité (agrumes surtout citron), malté de grains pâles avec des notes de miel, de thé glacé et de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées, notes de thé et d’herbes fraîches). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux petites notes crémeuses. Moyen-léger goût fruité (agrumes, notes de limes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt sucrés avec un léger goût de biscuits au miel puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) avec des notes de thé. Post-goût moyen-court aux petites notes sèches, très légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec des notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes).
