Sep 19, 2002 Updated: Jul 27, 2003 Bottle. Fascinating - a complex honey-floral nose, then a wonderful warm, sweet, foxy, honeyed taste with a dark malt, slightly bitter after taste. Mmmmm. [3.2]
Re-rate. Gravity Cask, Kent Beer Festival, with Nuffield & Duff. Soft, gentle, floral citric aroma. Bitter wood up front. More interesting than it is enjoyable. However, it is jolly enjoyable. [3.4]

Jul 9, 2005 Poured a clear golden color with very little head. Strong aroma of stale flowers, and tasted about like that as well. Quite displeasing on all fronts, but this was a 10/03 bottle... I hope that was the problem.

Feb 26, 2005 peat moss in there, bitter, long dry finish. Citrus, honey,some malts. Barley in there. Understated carbonation. I wonder how this would be three years aged.

Aug 13, 2005 Updated: Sep 5, 2006Bottle (330ml). Poured a murky orange-gold with a very small head. Aroma is very light, very high-sweet - I get honeycomb, clover, plenty of malt, fresh-cut hay and some sweet fruit (orange and apricot) as well as mild floral and pine/spruce resiny notes. Taste is strongly of dried flowers, with pine resin, citrusy malt and some musty, mushroomy earthiness. Finishes quite quickly, but the hops announce themselves on the way out the door. Mouthfeel is astringent. I can’t help but think of turpentine as I drink it - but for all that it’s very pleasant, just as enjoyable as the first bottle I had back in 1998.

Sep 29, 2002 This ale tasted like I suspected, bitter, malty bit acidic aftertaste. It had decent head. Despite all the positives it failed to impress me. Thanks Doug !!!

Jun 8, 2004 Medium orange gold color. Small head. Aroma is malty, peaty, herbal and slightly sweet. A medium bodied traditional ale. Sweet and fruity with hints of peet and smoke. I won’t talk about the malts or hops in this beer, because I am not sure it has either. Malts are sweet. No hops. Nice carbonation. An interesting beer, Not sure I would drink this one all the time, but it interesting nonetheless. It has a lot more sweet wine like qualities than a beer. Heather Ales makes some very interesting beers; this one like their other traditional/non-traditional ales is worth trying. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
