Pours a murky dark orange color with a bubbly, white head and herb floaties.

Offers a truly unique nose, consisting of mint, phenolic herbs, orange bonbon, peach pulp, marzipan and sweet toffee. This is weird, but so far I like it.

Has a light, bubbly mouthfeel, reminding me of licking a stone, revealing a well balanced, effervescent, refreshing beer.

Tastes of a potent interplay of eucalyptus, mint and balancing toffee which got a fruity peach hint to it. Turns a bit mineralic then with prevailing eucalyptus and a doughy softness which gets washed away by the effervescence, revealing a watery lack of flavors.

Maybe its the eucalyptus overpowering the rest of the other flavors, but this is a one trick pony with an icy, long lingering herb freshness, offering nothing which goes beyond this initial impression.

Pours a deep golden, coppery coloration with a huge, foamy head that disappears quickly. Smell is very herbal, the eucalyptus and peppermint standing out the most, with just a hint of juniper, honey and some faint malts in the background as well. Taste follows the nose with a moderate biscuity malt, presence, some faint citrus hops and a strong herbal flavor that is dominated by eucalyptus and peppermint, with notes of juniper and honey. It can't be easy to properly balance a beer like this, but they've really nailed it. Strong herbal character without being too overpowering, all the additives intermingling harmoniously without one drowning out the other too much. I'm not really a fan of eucalyptus or peppermint myself, so I probably won't have this again, but I can still admire the craftmanship here.
