May 19, 2007 Cloudy dark orange / amber. Floral with sweet pleasant malt aroma. Great balance of malts & hops, which made if very smooth start to finish. Notes of spices, herbs, flowers, and honey.

Nov 14, 2007 331ml bottle from my "Historic Ales of Scotland" pack from the LCBO. Pours a pure copper colour with a small white head. The aroma is very nutty, with a touch of something strange in it, but very faintly and subtly. The flavour is much the same, but with more of the strange subtle flavour, that I guess is from the heather flowers. It’s surprisingly fresh tasting considering it’s an import. The finish is actually quite interesting, a little sweet bite on the tip of my tounge, not so much malty, most likely the heather flowers? It’s actually the most pleasant and interesting aspect of this beer. Lighter mouth-feel than I was expecting. Over-all an interesting brew, very enjoyable, but I wish the flavours were a tad stronger, as it seems a bit subdued. Good stuff though.

May 9, 2009 Light copper brown beer with quite big blond head. Aroma is quite great, balanced with something exotic, "sweet pine needles", bitterness and some cinnamon? Flavour is more simple than aroma, but still quite similar: dry, pine needles and old-fashioned style. Nice and balanced to drink. Different beer with interesting "exotic", definitety worth to dry.

Mar 25, 2009 Taste 3/9 bottle. Looks: pale gold body with a thin white top. Aroma: Orange peel, clove and spice. Taste: Clove and orange peel in a thin bodied brew that is both sweet and spicy. Finishes clean and fruity.

Feb 13, 2008 330ml bottle. Cloudy and thick light brown color. Full of sediment. Sweet with a mild herbal finish. Tastes mildly of honey. Very easy drinking. I had held this beer in higher regard in previous samplings, maybe this bottle is a little past it’s prime.

Nov 2, 2007 Pours clear goldy orange with little head. Smell is extremely reminiscent of the pumpkin ale I had last week -- so much so that I’m not sure which smells like which. Cream soda also -- the aroma is very sweet. The beer is quite refreshing. Starts with sweet caramel, progresses through a strong offering of (I guess) heather flavour (quite good), and finishes with a lovely dose of hops which sticks on the dry palate it leaves. Medium body. Nice.

Jan 15, 2008 Nose of herbs, spices and other vegetation gives this beer a wonderful bouquet surpassing many other beers for its sheer distinctiveness. Pours a golden colour beer with a small head. Taste is hoppy, with herbs and spcies (must be the heather) being present. Not much malt is present. All in all another really enjoyable beer from Williams.
