mabel (2530), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 29, 2007 [417-20070709] 330mL (By Dec-07). Sweet evergreen and heathery floral aroma, reminds me of Pinesol cleaning solution. Clear, golden orange brown body with a quick bubbly off-white head. Sweet licorice background flavour lies on a bed of hay with an aftertwang. Medium body is watery. Unlike its pack brothers, this is drinkable and non-offensive. slimchill (773), Austin, Texas, USA Jul 27, 2007 Bottle. Deep orange with a patchy head. Aroma is sweet citrus with a touch of pine. Flavor is sourish with a very unique resiny tinge. Really different and enjoyable. Thick and full-bodied. robinvboyer (1419), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Jul 25, 2007 big floral notes in the aroma, kinda like rose water. flavour is much the same. It definitely does a good job being what it is, but i dont like the floral flavour. flowerysong (25), USA Jul 24, 2007 Appearance: Pours a clear, coppery gold with three fingers of white head that quickly subsides to a thin froth. Lots of carbonation evident.
Smell: Floral and sweet, with heather notes evident.
Taste: Sweet flavourful malt fading into an herbal heather middle, with honeyed citrus coming through in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied, crisp taste with snappy carbonation.
Drinkability: Givvus another, willya? Extremely drinkable.
BigBen2120 (688), Derry, New Hampshire, USA Jul 23, 2007 12oz bottle from Ron’s in Farmington. Slightly hazy amber-red body with a thin film of off-white head. Floral and fruity in scent, somewhat reminiscent of banana, though not like a Hef. Tastes fruity, floral, and somewhat nutty. The nut and banana-like qualities dominate the flavor. though that’s not quite accurate. Medium in body. Tasty and quite drinkable, as well as unique. Not similar to most beers I’ve ever had, but I could definitely see drinking this one again. Delicious. pivo (2535), Germany Jul 11, 2007 Grassy nose, gold color. Sweet honey malt, corriander, herbal notes. Medium body, Interesting blend but it doesn’t come together in balance for me. chimpscampee (556), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jul 7, 2007 The claimed sweet gale and flowering heather give this a pronounced floral and perfume aroma. Mineral water aspect. A bit of the butterscotch flavor so common in scottish ales but orange, pear flavors lighten it and white grape give it a vinous aspect. A bit too sweet but finish is sort of dry. damienv10 (108), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 7, 2007 Light and clear golden orange with a small white head. The nose surprisingly barnyardy with just a hint of fruit malt. Very inconspciuous nose. Fairly flat on the palate with just a hint of carbonation. The flavors are very different from most beers I’ve tried. Roasted nuts, rose, lemon, and coriander. Not bad, but I probably won’t purchase again.
