All I can say is:
Well, perhaps a descriptive is warranted here...
The sucker-punch of lemon might turn a lot of people off, but I noticed a lot more subtleties as I went along that deserve merit. Light ruby/copper on the pour with plenty of puffy, marshmallow-esque lacing (quite sticky). Nose was pugent lemongrass & a hint of lychee of all things. Mouthfeel was somewhat astringent at first, but again, the lemon verbena obviously has something to do with that (and again, the sour kick mellows out after a minute or two). I couldn't pick up any of the tropical fruit notes that were described on the bottle, but the small rye addition adds a distinctly exotic, almost spicy, character. Very clean, aggressive stuff as to be expected from Greg & Steve.
