ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Dec 23, 2008 Pours an orangey color with a soapy tiny white head. Nose is skunky german hops and oxidized beer with a faint hint of clover honey. Taste is like watery grassy clover. Ever ate one of those pink flowers in the middle of a field? Thats exactly what this tastes like. Watery mouthfeel and a short finish. Id rather get drunk on fermented sewage than this set of heather ales from the williams brothers. Drain poured the entire set except ebolum. ILduce (133), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 15, 2008 bottle from LCBO: Hazy orange with small head. Shows spices, flowers and malts in the nose. Nice sweet/herbal taste with ginger and mint. Well-balanced. Quite obviously unique and quaffable. Tranquillity (1165), Espoo, Finland Dec 15, 2008 Bottled. Wheat, malt, some meak berries in the aroma. Taste full and enjoyable, very balanced. Hoppy with heather. Hazy brown/orange, huge thick-bubbled white head. bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA Dec 10, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. golden and light cloudiness, white head. Floral and malty smells. Sweet like honey. Carbonated like soda. Not a strong aftertaste. I kinda like this. PaulHegedus (458), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Dec 7, 2008 330ml bottle, served cellar temperature, golden in a goblet with a thick, full white head. I smell dandelion, honey, some grass, bread and butter, lots of flowers, pomegranate. The mouthfeel is a little thin and fairly flat, but this thing has great head retention and decent lacing. The flavour starts out a bit like soda, sprite, then the heather hits: very floral, light, grassy, with bitter fruit, cranberry, some nuts, lemon. mikkopen (250), Oulu, Finland Dec 7, 2008 500 ml bottle. Clear yellow-orange colur, thin white head. Sweet malts, flowers and fruits in the aroma. Sweet caramel malty flavour, with fruits and nuts. A little thin on the palate, but the carbonation is nice and smooth. Mildly spicy finish. mullet2007 (198), St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada Dec 5, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy bronzy orange colour with no head. Nose is a little bit piney with plenty of sweet malts there too. A little bit of hay, and some flowery notes. Nice. Flavour is similar, very sweet, lots of sugary malts, and some light fruits. There is a bit of the pine in the finish, but not very much and it is somewhat flowery. It is a bit watery, but the carbonation is right on. BeerBunker (601), Burbank, Illinois, USA Nov 30, 2008 Pours golden with a fizzy white head. Super heavy aroma. Aroma is of weak malt, citrus, floral notes, and bubblegum. Taste is very weak malt, with notes of bubblegum, honey, lemon zest, and a light hoppiness. Very light mouthfeel. Not an outstanding beer at all, but it is very drinkable and the price was right.
