Comments: This is one of the most interesting tasting beers i've ever had in my life. You cannot compare it to anything, it's in its own league. That being said, overall the beer turned out perfect. Everything from the consistancy, color, head, carbonation, taste was wonderful. I think 2 oz. of chamomile was a bit much... I would try 1 oz. of chamomile next time and maybe add some type of spice to the wort. Overall, my best beer to date.

Comments: What really impressed me with this beer was the presentation. It poured a good head, left some nice rings and the aroma was very strong. The taste was very camomile which is not bad. But perhaps it could have been toned down a bit. It was like drinking a beer tea as opposed to some beers that taste like coffee. However, it wasn't so much camomile that wouldn't prohibit me from drinking more then one.
