L:. Pours a clear yellow with a hint of orange, a medium white head and no lacing on the glass.

S:. This beer smells so close to focaccia bread, with a strong note of rosemary, fresh baked bread and a touch of salt.

T:. Once again tastes a lot like focaccia bread, with strong notes of rosemary, fresh baked bread. This is fantastic.

F:. Lighter body, carbonation is smooth.

O:. I never knew I needed a beer that tasted like focaccia bread until I had this beer, now I can't get enough of it.

How there aren't more beers like this around is beyond me. Zora is refreshing and unusual.

It's a lighter gold with a good head and lacing, and it smells like the fresh bread they give you at Macaroni Grill. Think roasted dough and dried rosemary (go figure). Even better, the rosemary comes through in the taste, too. More bread! Add to that a slightly herbal bitterness, some lemon and wheat and you've got a meal in a bottle. Or at least the start of one.

on tap upstairs at wynkoop. pours an almost clear orange to light rust color, with a lacey just off white head. smells like orange zest and rosemary, no kidding. some hops also on the back end, piney. flavor is crisp and very citrusy at first, but it mellows out to a biscuity malt middle and finally a very unique fresh rosemary herbed finish. never had a beer like this before, as i thought the saison du buff didnt highlight the herbs enough. this one might have went the other way, overpowering just a tad on the rosemary. not sure id drink 5 of these, but a pint was quite nice actually. feel is good, excellent carbonation and a pretty middling body. overall a creative beer that exceeded my expectations.

On tap at Strange this was quite the odd duck. Bright orange yellow color. It smelled like rosemary and roasted chicken was all I could think of. As I tasted it I was blasted by the rosemary and again couldn't think of anything but a chicken dinner. This was just too odd but it would make a great beer for beer-can chicken.
