Jan 15, 2009 Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Orange color. Slightly earthy aroma with a hint of orange. Earthy grassy flavor with vennel. Just a bit thin. Hints of orange and honey. Unimpressive.

The aroma, at first sniff, was of Walkers Smokey Bacon crisps... maybe even Frazzles. I’m now convinced that it’s actually closer to Walkers Roast Chicken. Mes, even now, swears it is in fact Smokey Bacon. I’m not so sure. But as he has eaten more crisps than I will ever consume in my life (especially those of a meat persuasion), I’m going to take his word for it. Smokey Bacon Crisps!
The flavour tastes much like rosemary to me (my favourite herb, might I add). It’s refreshing and its relatively-low alcohol content and complex flavour makes it a great last beer of the evening. The aftertaste is more rosemary (have I mentioned that I have no idea what heather is meant to taste like? Is it a bit like rosemary?). Lovely. Refreshing. I will be buying this again.

Light hazy golden with a small creamy white head. Aroma is packed with heather, light hay and a little wine gums. Okay mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, light chewy, lots of heather and a bit of tartness in the finish.

Sep 25, 2004 Amber body, no head. Heather gives a nice floral kick. Palate proposes tart spicy banana bread and honey hints. Very refreshing, perfect medium effervescence. Light-medium body. Addictive spices somehow manages to provide balance to the mostly sweet flavor profile. Quaffable. I wouldn’t see this type of beer as any potential world-beater, but in its genre, it’s very satisfying if not quite a flavor festival. Thanks Josh!

Jun 4, 2005 Updated: Sep 16, 2005Aroma is intreaging, floural and spicey.
Taste is different, gee is it different, im gettin like flowers mixed into your bubblegum toothpaste, with a sweetness also coming from some hark depths of the seeweed that seems to be cutting in too.
Different and intresting, worth a go if u see it on draft.

Sep 12, 2002 Updated: May 16, 2003This beer really rocks.
No time to write very much about it. However, I love Scotch Ales and this is on of my favorites. Just go buy a bottle and give it a try. The heather adds an interesting twist to this malty brew.

May 17, 2003 Clear golden with a thin coating of small bubbled head. Light flowery and sweet malty aroma. Body is thin and semi-sweet with an earthy bitter finish. This is an interesting beer and is exceptionally drinkable considering its similarities to an American standard.
