Sep 23, 2007 bottle poured an amber in color with a thin white foam layer on the top. decent carbination, smell is caramel malt, flowery yeast, nutmeg, and some earthy tones. taste is lighter than the smell leads on, malts are fairly smooth, dry on the finish, and some sweetness. definitely a different beer in a nice way, the heather has a very garden grown spices taste like it could come from my own herb garden. interesting to think of people thousands of years ago drinking this stuff, lots of heather instead of hops.

Sep 8, 2007 Mild, but has a slight edge on the tongue. It is brewed using heather flowers and scottish malt, so you get a light petal texture/flavor across the palate. This is an interesting beer to ponder and enjoy with it’s unique characteristics.

Mar 8, 2002 This is pretty good. I like the taste of the heather (I guess that is what I’m tasting, not sure what heather actually tastes like). I thought it was pretty good and I don’t feel like a sucker. PS - beer is not MADE from hops. They are added to give more flavor. Hops were not even used until relatively modern times (although I am glad they are!)

Nov 20, 2008 (Bottle). Sweet honey aroma. Hazy golden body, small white head. Flavor is different, as should be expected. Honey, earthiness, well balanced. Mild but flavorful. A nice brew.

Mar 15, 2007 Deep golden/orange hazy look with a fine white bubbling head. Aroma is heather spicey and honey sweet. The flavor is really nice. Interresting spicey notes without being too weird, some sweetness in there and bitterness in the finish. Good brew
