Sep 23, 2003 Bottled. Hazy gold colour with a fine white, slightly lacy head. Lovely smooth malty flavour. Very pleasing mouth feel, silky smooth and more’ish.

Aug 30, 2004 Deep golden colour with large frothy white head. Malty/heathery aroma (go fig), fizzy spiced taste. A bit like drinking cold black pudding with HP sauce. Quite nice and different. A bit of a lavender quality too. I gave it 16 overall just to account for the originality.

Nov 1, 2006 Bottle:
Brilliant amber ale with a rocky-sticky 3 finger cap that laces the supreme hell out of the glass sides! Looks great...Lottsa malt!
Siganture aromas for this brewer: floral wild botanicals with a musty-woody herbaceous decernment, some clover honey-like sweetness.
Rigid primal malt spine, medium body, floral-herbal-grainy character
Up front a rush a solid coarse ground bready malts just as they begin to sweeten, a flood of herbal-botanical flavors rush in to keep them from cloying...nice herbal-musk mellon tastes devlop...finish is mellow, soft and accentuated with a nice herbacious heather-like taste that lingers as lightly bittering aftertaste with the hopping.
I’m really impressed with the ales from this brewer....consistantly malt-herbal tasting and infinitely mellow with a soft mineral mouth.

Sep 7, 2007 Light palate, clears off the tongue nearly instantly. Smells lightly sweet, lacks any distinctive character. Not bold or remarkable enough to warrant $2.50 per bottle.

Feb 19, 2007 A nice piece of history and a interesting beer. I should revisit this some time. Page 172 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide only 406 out 500 Classic Brews to go.

Feb 6, 2008 [WBA Styles Tasting] Clear yellow color. Very distinct flowery aroma... herbal, almost root-like. No real hop presence. Spicy, herbal flavors, very interesting-- almost like a curry spice character. Fruity apple flavors underneath. Complex and slightly tart. Finishes clean. Overall, quite tasty and interesting.
