Admittedly, I don't have much fruit experience, but I couldn't resist trying something with mugwort in it.

Pours a golden Amber color. Little evidence of carbonation. Reminds me of some meads I've had before. The nose is strong and herbal. Heavy notes of eucalyptus and citrus. Almost medicinal. The taste follows suit with strong herbal flavors. Some vanilla flavoring is present too. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy.

On the whole I enjoyed this beer. It's a bit funky and I couldn't drink too much of this in one setting, but I'm glad I tried it. There's lots of eucalyptus in Southern California so it makes sense to use it in brewing. Glad I tried this one.

Nice deep gold with orange tone color with a full pure white head.

Not getting a lot in the nose but I'm not sure if it's the beer or me today since there's eucalyptus and mugwort in this one and the nose should be more. I'm going to let it warm up....

Mouth feel is rich, full and bold with a creamy tone.

Flavor profile is a bit strange. Front palate is a strange sweet fruit/vegetable character that goes to a dull herb with almost vanilla tones and a creamy herb finish.

Must let this one warm up. - Did. Still good but doesn't improve.
