durkahdurkah (15), Charlestown, Massachusetts, USA Mar 3, 2007 Pours a light amber color with a small thin white head. Very pleasant floral aroma, but the taste was a bit thin. I’m glad i tried this beer, as I’d never had a heather ale before, but I was not overly impressed. Maybe this just isn’t my kind of beer. VikingHammer (362), Lynnfield, Massachusetts, USA Mar 2, 2007 Pours a light clear brown with no head. A strange flower aroma. Tastes of slight sweetness with a thin water like finish. Wasn’t impressed. Cool bottle though. DruncanVeasey (2690), The Penguin’s Arms, Europe, Warwickshire, England Mar 1, 2007 Parsnip sweet snout. Deep gold pour with white froth. Chewy maltiness drinking way beyond its strength, a bit like a full-bodied Biere Du garde. Revolting. Nose becoming more sappy and perfumey as it warms. No, it’s waxy, leathery and resinous and I just don’t like it. Where’s the flowers? faroeviking (6024), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands Feb 26, 2007 Nice golden colour with an ok white head. Flowery aroma which is also found in the flavour along with some spicyness ending with a nice dry aftertaste. A good Scottish ale I must say. Poperinge (359), Cowtown, Alberta, Canada Feb 19, 2007 A nice piece of history and a interesting beer. I should revisit this some time. Page 172 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide only 406 out 500 Classic Brews to go. LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 18, 2007 This was a great suprise! I admit I bought this beer for the label and nothing else. The pour was a dark amber with a thin white head. The aroma was roasted malt and spicy. At first sip, the malts took over but as I finished, there was a certain spiciness to the finish. Rune (2748), Tromsø, Norway Feb 17, 2007 Bottle from Utobeer. Clear amber body with a thin white head. Smell of dark berries. Light mouthfeel with taste of sweet, black currant supported by malty notes. Diluted. Unusual, but pretty fair (03.02.2007). UselessGdTaste (363), Long Beach, California, USA Feb 16, 2007 Extremely meaty beer. Not like anything I have ever had before. Some honey was present. The only way I would describe this is beefy. Unique and amazing.
