Aug 11, 2006 bottle-thanks to vyvvy for sharing. clear orange with a soapy white head. nose is funky, moldy grapes, cardboard and musty earthyness. peat moss? honeydew, mellons and vegetal notes on the flavors. the veg here is over-the top and really becomes detracting. palate is soft with nice carbonation. not my thing

Jul 22, 2006 330 ml bottle, bought at Mahlers Vinhandel, Frederikshavn, Denmark. My first heather ale. Cloudy honey coloured, moderate head. Nice aroma of heather flowers and heather honey, notes of earth, peat and fresh sea air too. Flavour is earthy and moderately herbal, but not quite as exciting as I hoped - still good, though. Mouthfeel is maybe a bit thin, the beer is fairly dry but some heather honey notes shine through. A moderate herbal bitterness in the aftertaste.

Jul 17, 2006 Pours orange with small disapearing head. Not much aroma but a little honey, woody earthy smell. Stale orange citrus flavors with a smooth palate. Very herbal dry flavors. Very different any other beer I’ve had.

Jul 15, 2006 Bottle. Copper-amber color with medium head. Extraordinary flowery aroma with
sweet honey, herbs, light acidity and strawberry. Dryer, flowery and woody flavor. A bit flat flavor after such an intriguing aroma.

Jul 5, 2006 Transparent orange pour with medium white head offers a floral nose of some spice and pepper that is mostly dry. Palate is rather nice actually, with a silken touch to it. Flavor is, alas, a bit bland with the flower/heather quality distinct throughout. It just comes off a bit thin and unremarkable. Enjoyable as homage, but less than captivating as brew.

Jun 21, 2006 Very flat looking, golden bronze body with a touch of green. Sweet, I couldn’t have too many, almost port like.

Jun 11, 2006 Hazy orange, bubbly white head. Yeasty, fruity nose with some hints of red berries and alcohol. Some lemon and spices is present. Quite thin bodied and watery. Slight acidic finish with notes of earth and lingonberry.

Jun 11, 2006 Pretty unoffensive, but not that special at the same time. Poured an amber color with a thin white head that dissipated quickly and laced only ok. The aroma was hard to pick up, somewhat off and metallic. The flavor was based on light pale and caramel malts with honey, oranges, and light floral (heather if they say so) aspects. Somewhat dry in the aftertaste and touched with some metallic tones. Again, like their other ales, neat to try, but nothing to drink regularly.
