May 24, 2006 Clear amber or yellow. Head quickly disappearing. Characteristic but undescernable aroma -- perhaps these small artificial berries that is sometimes put on top of deserts? When you taste it though, the heather is clear. When you hail from west jutland, you know the smell of the heath. The flavour is spicy and a wee bit sour. Interesting, but a bit one dimensional.

May 21, 2006 Pours to a hazy copper, with very thin white head and minimal lacing. Very strong floral, perfumy aroma. Initial tastes were of floral. At mid-glass, taste of malt and spices crept in, and I even detected hints of alcohol. Although I enjoyed the flavor, the finish came on very quickly, and was much too dry for my tastes.
I have to say that this beer is much better than the other product of their’s that I’ve had....Alba Scot’s Pine Ale. However, I’ll stick to hops in my beer, and leave the heather to beautify the Scottish countryside.

May 14, 2006 Dark golden, clear with little head. Scent of bitter hops, citrusy and perfumed malts. Slight honey flavour but not much there, slightly acidic bitter aftertaste. Too creamy on the palate, but alive rather than fizzy.

May 9, 2006 Very unassertive and boring aroma. Slight flowers, thats mostly it. Mostly similar taste, with a touch of corn. Really, it doesn’t taste like anything. Very drinkable and no off flavors, though.

May 1, 2006 Updated: Jun 29, 2009Bottled. Golden beer with a white head. No carbonation. Spicy aroma with ginger, caramel and malt. Malty flavor with spices and caramel. Lightly dusty mouthfeel. Dry, bitter finish. Rating: 7-3-7-3-14-3.4. (060422)
Bottle. A slightly hazy golden beer with a fingerthick white head. Heathery nose with sweet pale malts and a flowery touch. A hint of ginger too maybe. Sweet malts, heather and some flowery notes. There’s some ginger-like notes in the flavor too, but without the almost soapy touch there’s to ginger. Medium body. Sweet, almost sugary towards the finish with heather, pale malts and some bitterness. Drying up in the very end. A nice and slightly quenching beer, but a bit on the sweet side. Like it. (090629)
