Feb 4, 2007 From memory earlier tonight. Light floral bitternsess, a bit spicy, and some light sweetenss. Very easy going down. Well-balanced, but minimal complexity.

Feb 1, 2007 500 ml bottle. Flowery aroma along with some malt notes present. Dark golden body with decent white head. A decent malted caramel flavor in this beer gives it some balance over the spicey start. Easy drinkable beer and filling.

does not count  Jan 24, 2007 One of my top 5 favorite beer! It only comes in "gift pack" here in Ottawa (Canada). I love both Fraoch and Grozet.

Jan 21, 2007 22 May 2006 - Sweet light roasted choc malt with spiceness. Murky brown-orange colour, poor head and reasonable lacing. Sweet spicy licorice malt hop flavour. Finishes with sweet spicy malt .

Jan 15, 2007 bottle - Pours murky light brown with dark yeast floaters. The nose is mild malt and herb (apparently heather). I personally didn’t detect any hops in the aroma or taste. The description does not mention them and if this is truly a several thousand year old recipe, then they aren’t there. That wouldn’t surprise me. Anyway, the malty flavor is poorly supported by a thin, watery body. Sweetness and low carbonation makes it slide down easily enough. Kudos to the brewer for keeping an ancient style alive, but I’m just not impressed.

Jan 15, 2007 Bottle. Pours a light chestnut with a thin white head. Nose of botanical malt, some bitter hop and coriander. Obvious peaty nose. Mouth is slightly sweet, very floral. Rather surprising, peat and coriander. Palate is bitter, slightly sweet, lasts well. Quite enjoyable, if not a little too fragrant.

Pours a slightly hazy coppery orange, with a half inch head that settles quikly to thin head, leaving behind only traces of lace.
Smell; this has a very floral and herbal along with some sweet malts and a pleasant earthiness. The aroma very different aroma than any beer that I’ve ever had, and reminds of the fields I used to play in next to my house as a kid.
Taste; once again very floral and herbal with some notes of honey that I didn’t get in the smell. This is mildly sweet on the back end, and surprisingly refreshing on this summer night.
Mouthfeel is light bodied with a very low carbonation, and slightly dry in the finish. A very interesting, change of pace beer.
