I first tried this beer when it came out in 2007. I came across it again the other night and figured I'd give'er a go - again.
Opened 12 fluid ounce bottle and poured into snifter glass.
Pour is mostly head free with some bubbles and light lace on edges of glass. Brew is a slightly hazy yellow/tan color.
Smell is somewhat sweet/fruity with light floral notes. Taste is slightly herbaceous with nice light hints of hops and botanical hints. Carbonation is pleasant and finish is crisp with no aftertaste.
Good brew.

Gold colored beer, some haziness going on. Small head, decent lacing, average retention.
Minimal aroma escaping, lemonbread.
Same in the taste, mild bitter/tart aspect. Plenty of carbonation, hops stay away. Something to push into spring with I guess. No off flavors.
