First of all, this brew smells awesome - spicy, grassy noble hops provide an excellent base for the lavender and lemon peel - there are also some notes of spicy basil and other herbs - the flavor is very crisp and dry, with peppery, herbal hops - the added spices augment this character - however, the malt base is not substantial enough - just a tiny bit of toasted grains - so the brew moves from refreshing to watery in the finish - still, quite a nice brew.
