9/8/2012 – gravity = 1.010. Slight aromatic floral smell. Earthy, biscuit. Summery. Light. Airy.
9/15/2012 - Biscuit lavender ale FG 1.009. Bottling day. It's light and hearty. I get a high end and bottom end. Final priming should balance it out. Dry ale.

9/22/2012 - One week early from bottle. Tastes great! Very aromatic and full bodied. The biscuit is hearty. Carbonation was perfect in ½ liter bottles.
9/23/2012 – it has a nice fruit like essence. Crisp and clear.
