Mar 14, 2006 Updated: Jul 22, 2006Loved that beer. Had it a few times and it’s not possible to have it anymore in Quebec. This was a really tasty beer. Taste like strong flowers. Loved it.
Re-rate the beer. Sorry, it’s going lower. I’ve tried it again in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. from a bottle. I was really disapointed. Less flavors than before. Low carbonation, no head.

Mar 13, 2006 A bit heavy on the herbal notes and spices, floral, complicated. Well done a new experiance and worth it.

Mar 10, 2006 330ml bottle poured a hazy gold with a small, quickly dissapating white head. Aroma was floral, carmel and earthy. Palate was light bodied. Flavors of carmel, flowers, and a faint smokiness with a lingering floral finish.

Mar 5, 2006 Orange pour with some head that lingered. Sweet spicy scent. Warm taste with a bit of sourness. Some fruit and spice, maybe cinamon. Aftertaste is warming and lingers. Suprisingly good, I wasn’t expecting much from the "Great ales of Scotland" giftpack but have been impressed by all.

Feb 28, 2006 Beer looks like a medium-dark apple juice with a small, off-white, frothy, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma is alluring—sweet, floral and fruity. It’s malty with moderate notes of sweet toasted grain and light caramel; yeasty with a trace note of sharp cheese; and full of moderately weighty miscellaneous notes of apple, lavendar, honey, white grape, and light notes of cinnamon, Vitamin B and straw. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter and moderately acidic with a moderately long, moderately acidic/tangy finish. The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.

Feb 26, 2006 While I have made a few heather ales, this is the first one from a bottle I have tried. Pour was dark orange, not amber. A bit of true cloudiness was present....a nice appearance, overall for this beer. Head was non-existant, and I couldn’t make it foam. Aroma was surprisingly mild, compared to the heather ale I have made. Herby, but really eclipsed by the biscuit smell of the malt. Taste was about the same. Understated. Compared to other heather ales I have tried (mostly homebrews) this is a seriously inoffensive beer. Heather for the masses, perhaps? Nice beer, easy to drink, but I think in this case, I would prefer some hops...or even spruce or cedar. This tasted like tea-beer. Ho-hum.
