Appearance: Pours a hazy honey color with a thin head that fades rather quickly; spotty lacing

Smell: Lactic lemon, peppery yeast and a salty air

Taste: Lactic lemon with the lavender tones developing; the salty element builds, after the swallow, along with a peppery yeast aspect

Mouthfeel: Light body with moderate carbonation

Overall: A refreshing and intriguing little beer

Thanks, Gregwilsonstl, for the opportunity

 

Poured a bright hazy yellow color with white head that dissipated quickly. Some faint lemons and tartness to the nose; as it warmed up the lavender became much more pronounced - lending an earthy fragrant aroma. Its very salty in the mouth, definitely one of the more salty beers I have tasted. Along with it are flavors lactic tartness and lemons. This beer taste like a combination of a Gose and lemon Shandy. It by no means taste like a saison. It lends a spritzy mouthfeel and is very light bodied with slight acidity. Overall: a fantastic lawnmower/camping/floating on the river kind of beer. I have to say, its hard to justify its price-point: 10 dollars for a four-12 oz pack. Should be sold in six pack for the price.
