Pours a nice gold colour and leaves a soapy lacing on my glass. Unfortunately for me, I detect some anise or licorice flavour on the nose and taste which is a turn off to me. However I also detect grassy, hoppy and perhaps even honey notes in this complex beer. I don’t believe there is black licorice in the beer but because that scent came first I didn’t really enjoy this one

Look: Bright yellow with hints of orange. Pours with a one finger white head, densely packed tiny bubbles.
Smell: Malty, very light barely discernable.
Taste: Floral and earthy. Somewhat Kolsch like. HInts of the lemongrass and definate honey. The front end seems basic but gives way on the back end gradually to the earthy flavours. Something in there I find hard to describe possibly the dandelions. Astringent on the back end.
Feel: At first it feels almost like a creme ale, dominant in the top of the mouth and tip of the tongue. Lingering mid tongue sensations at the end of the swig.
Interesting flavour profile, it won't be everyones cup of tea....but if you like some unique and unusual flavouring (albeit in subtle doses) this is worth a try. Warms up nicely. This beer earns a B.

Had this one last night. Very strange offering in my opinion. You can tell it is well made for what the brewers were trying to do, so if it seems appealing to you then go for it. The lemon grass and dandelion tastes are prominent. For myself though, I didn't find this to be a very enjoyable beer based on these flavours.

Bland, rather boring by the second half of the bottle and absolutely no originality found within.
This is not something I would ever try again. You won't miss anything if you skip it altogether.

Purchase at the LCBO for around $4.00 or so for a 650ml bottle. Served at 4deg C in a draught glass
A- Opens well and pours a small head that is gone in no time.
S- Ok. Not a lot happening here. More malt than anything else
T- Not very grassy. Not very anything other than some basic beer.
M- Not much here at all.
O- Not so good. Nothing special and won't buy again
Food Pairing
This ok beer went well with.... Fried mushroom
