Draught sample, small stable head. very hazy light brown colour, aroma of mint and wormwood, some coffee and candy in the back, strong flavour of wormwood, also some carraway, quite sour with a lightish body. An overall desert shrubiness feeling, very very original but also very difficult to drink.

Draught sample at "Beers 2012" exhibition in Tel Aviv. Murky brown with a small beige head. Aroma of spices, malt, licorice, caramel and some anise notes. Sweetish spicy flavor with malt, caramel, lots of strange spiciness (somewhat anise-like), some yeast and a dry finish. Medium-bodied. Unique, but pretty hard to drink.

Sweetish flavor with some malt, fruity yeasty notes, and a moderately bitter finish with some slightly spicy and slightly citric hops. Medium-bodied. Decent and quaffable.

Bottle, no Desert Ale on the label so that is probably a different recipe, very little head, clear bronze colour, yeasty vanila aroma with some tropical fruits coming to the fore but are always quite light. flavour of flowers and fruits and a medium strong bitterness that doesn’t last for long. Not much of an IPA, quite dissapointing.
