Forbidden Lavender

I like breweries that really put themselves out there by taking chances with odd or tweaked ideas.  Katy, Texas's No Label Brewing's seasonal offering this summer is a Belgian-style witbier brewed with lavender instead of coriander, and it's a slightly off-kilter, subtle, and wonderful beer for this time of year.  Pouring a nice, clear gold with a white, bubbly head, the beer smells of wheat with hints of honey and vanilla...and of course lavender.  The flavor is similar.  The lavender never overpowers, but it certainly lets you know it's there.  All in all, this is a great summer beer to sip on the porch while the sun goes down.

Visit the brewer.
