Jan 15, 2008 Nose of herbs, spices and other vegetation gives this beer a wonderful bouquet surpassing many other beers for its sheer distinctiveness. Pours a golden colour beer with a small head. Taste is hoppy, with herbs and spcies (must be the heather) being present. Not much malt is present. All in all another really enjoyable beer from Williams.

Jan 11, 2008 Bottle. Bright gold appearance. Mild spice could make the aroma profile a distant second-cousin to a wheat beer. However, this is much soapier than a wheat, with a sharp floral quality that builds as you head towards the finish. Sort of like getting a mouthful of shampoo while rinsing your hair in the shower. No sodium laureth sulphate on the ingredients list – and that’s the best thing you can say about this one.

Jan 7, 2008 500ml bottle, best by Dec 08. Clear gold with a thin white head. Spicy floral aroma, heather I suppose, very herbal and earthy. My wife just told me my beers smells "pretty". I am officially emasculated. She said it smells like a lavender satchel you’d toss in your underwear drawer. Delightful, I think. Anyway, flavor is much like the nose - pretty much overwhelming herbal heather. (Again, an assumption - never smelled or tasted heather. I knew a girl in high school named heather, She tasted wonderful, but nothing like this. There I go again, rating drunk. Oh well.) Somewhere under there is a hint of caramel, but really the heather overcomes all. Interesting, I guess.

Jan 6, 2008 500ml bottle from Waitrose, Christchurch. Pours a fine amber colour with a small white head. Has floral / citrus aromas. Very pleasing taste with, again, floral notes coming through. Also, a hint of clover?. A nice dry finish to it. Certainly an unusual ale but very pleasant.

Dec 28, 2007 Poured a cloudy dark golden color with a thin white head that didn’t last very long. Aroma is very sweet and floral, and it smells of nectar. Taste is sweet also, but is balanced by the malt. This beer is incredibly smooth and easy drinking. Not much lacing on the glass. Not necessarily something I would seek out, but I would not turn down another either.

Dec 28, 2007 .33cl bottle
Had this first 7 or 8 years ago, but had to revisit to rate. Pours light gold with a nice head head. Aroma is floral with a slight hint of fruit. Taste is flowers. Maybe some spice, but mostly flowers. Good today, good back then.
