Hazy yellow-straw color. Small flux of fine bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Very little head which quickly reduced to a tiny ring around the glass. No lacing.

Strong sweet fruit scent. Figs? Dates? With some spice. Dried ginger and cardamom? Some other floral scents I couldn't identify. Swirling the glass kicked up something else that was sweet but unidentified and a brief hint of barnyard.

Very strong tart lemon juice flavor, but from a squeeze bottle instead of a fresh lemon (ReaLemon). A bit of the spice scent comes through as a light gingerbread flavor. This has some other vague flavors behind it that I couldn't identify and something slightly malty. The aftertaste is mostly the ReaLemon and something else.

Relatively low carbonation closer to a soft drink. Didn't foam up and didn't attack my tongue. Surprisingly heavy body which felt almost oily.

Perhaps the scent and flavor I couldn't identify was coming from the lavender. Very unusual. I can't see this being a regular house beer.
