Mar 2, 2002 I had a really hard time without the hops. I mean it is one of the four freaking things beer is made of. If this is an indication of what beers tasted like in 2000 B.C. then I’m really glad that I’m 4000 years in the future. Suckers.

Sep 2, 2008 11.2oz bottle, courtesy of my brother. Thanks, Phil! Pours a hazy, peachy orange color; off-white head with good retention and glistening lacing. Kind of an odd aroma: floral notes, various soft spices, and dog food; nicely floral somewhere in there, but hard to get around the dog food / stale wet malt note. Not mouthwatering. Medium mouthfeel: chewy floral and spice notes (very soft, herbal), basic sugary malts, and touches of that wet malt / dog food note again (though less pronounced than in the aroma); very odd beer; relaxed carbonation. Lengthy finish: stale floral notes, wet malts, and basic sugar.

Sep 26, 2004 Poured like plains east of Denver so I wasn’t expecting too much; however, the first taste was surpisingly tasty. Very floral but not too sharp; a slight sweetness takes over before too much damage can be done. A very pleasant surprise... I would definitely drink this one again.

Jun 7, 2004 Cask conditioned @ JDW, Soton. Unusually thick head. Inviting aroma of a hillside meadow with malty honey notes. Odd mouthfeel and taste somewhat like chewing on a mouthful of flowers (I imagine). Interesting but not great.

Feb 14, 2007 Bottle. Dark amber, with thin off-white head. Malty, spicy aroma with hints of flowers and herbs (but different than hop aromas). Smooth mouthfeel, some sweetness, ad really not much bitterness in the finish. OK, interesting, but there are much better ales for half the price.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown Charlottesville. Slightly hazy reddish amber pour with a big head that quickly disappears. Moderate lacing. Veru fruity, flowery aroma. Taste is the same with some more fruit (plum) and a hint of oat. Interesting. Thin body.
