Jun 19, 2007 Poured cloudy dull orange, with small quickly diminishing head. Aroma is funky and grainy with some sweet notes of orange, pommegranate and a little alc. Tastes dull sweet malt, cranberry. Body is very light, with a tiny carb taste. At first sip it is boring and almost puts me off, but as I let it sit in my mouth I warm up to it and it takes on the velvty texture that I imagine a heather ale should have. This can’t change the rest of the beer for me though. Blehh...

Jun 15, 2007 NorCal tasting June ’07 - While this was a surprise beer, after a few sips it really started to get that.."Am I done with it yet" feeling. A really thin and watery beer, the nose was really flowery with a sour berry taste. It also had something that I just could’t place my finger on it, almost like a honey-like quality. Nothing worth looking at here in terms of pint sized drinking, because it’s just too damn boring. A half-pint, perhaps just because it’s pretty different.

Jun 11, 2007 I got this in a four-pack of historic Scottish beers, which was just too much for me to resist. Aroma is strong, malty, and very pleasant. It pours out an orange-amber, rather than yellowish or brownish, with a thick head. Taste is a tad thin, but pleasantly malty with a nice bitter kick. A refreshing and smooth ale - I can see, or rather taste, why it has lasted for four millennia.
