Info: 500ml bottle, 28/3-2006, 95/300, 56/500 Frauditor (148), Hagerstown, Maryland, USA Jun 26, 2008 taste like flowers, enjoyed with justin and kristin. good looking bottle but not much inside. needs to grow some guts to get my approval, dkachur (2316), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Jun 25, 2008 Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown Charlottesville. Slightly hazy reddish amber pour with a big head that quickly disappears. Moderate lacing. Veru fruity, flowery aroma. Taste is the same with some more fruit (plum) and a hint of oat. Interesting. Thin body. shanepardue (107), Raytown, Missouri, USA Jun 19, 2008 Historic lightish amber heather ale. It sounds cliché that an ale brewed with flowers will taste flowery, but it does. A fruity flower. It’s alright, but I’d be interested to taste a different brewery’s take on this style ale. jmw141 (134), Canton, Illinois, USA Jun 14, 2008 Pours an amber-orange with normal clarity and a small head that mostly diminishes. A sweet aroma and I detect some honey, coriander and maybe clove or mint. Very unique first taste which is probably the heather or sweet gale...I like it! Very floral in flavor with a slight bitterness. Light mouthfeel with lively carbonation. I really liked this one. posikyle (165), Alabama, USA Jun 11, 2008 A very interesting ale. Pours a gold/bronze color with a thick, smooth head. Aroma is very floral. Flavor is floral with some malts, and some raisins (?), very velvety. If Mel Torme’s voice was a beer, this would be it. Definitely wold buy again. tomjr9 (11), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jun 3, 2008 A nice drinkable beer. Fine head. Not bitter at all good flavor and a nice mouth feel not oily or too thin. Nice when cold. dmac (1419), Toms River, New Jersey, USA May 31, 2008 330ml bottle from a gift set from Christmas. Pours a mostly clear thin looking orangey copper with an average size off whtie fizzy head that disipates quickly. Initial aroma is rather sweet with lots of floral notes, the floral hints remain and lavender type scents begin to dominate. Thin bodied with light carbonation, body is a little to thin for my taste though. Flavor doesn’t have that floral aroma in it and seems basically like a slightly swee amber. Not bad but nothing to seek out.
