A lightly hazed golden ale with a thick white head. Rather strong honey aroma, lightly herbal. In mouth, a grainy malt with seeped tea bag, a bit metallic. Medium bodied. Tasted on July 26 209.

Hazy golden coloured body with a dense tan head and a faint set of bubbles near the bottom. Aroma of coriander seed, yeast, wheat, grass and I guess, a faint bit of tea leaves - although, that could have fooled me. Light-bodied; Sweet taste of fake sugar, corn, a bit of apricots and some subtle tea and grassy flavours. Aftertaste shows some mild malt and wheat tastes with the yeast still potent. Overall, not such a horrible beer, but defintely not a good use of the flavours. I don’t think the taste was bad - just a bit off. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from the Downtown LCBO in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 08-April-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 25-May-2009.

Bottle: Poured a light hazy yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of light green tea with some other Asian spices (ginseng, coriander...). Taste is also a well balance mix between lightly sweet malt with some medium notes of green tea. I was expecting the green tea to be more dominant but still very enjoyable. Very well done for what was intended.
