May 22, 2004 Odd, to say the least. Murky, light orange appearance with a decent long lasting head. Very fragrant floral aroma with some ginger notes as well. Pleasant mouthfeel, leaves a nice aftertaste. Flavor has the same ginger elements, I’m sure it is heather, just never had heather before! Also detect a bit of spearmint in the back end as well. Not your everyday quaffing ale, but a nice diversion.

Jan 16, 2005 Bright amber w/ thick, creamy pale tan foam. Flower, herbal, spicy, unmistakably heather aroma w/ underlying notes of dark honey, caramel, & peat. Medium, oily feel. Sweet, malty, spicy flavour w/ a slightly dry, vinous finish.

Dec 2, 2005 Great nose with sultanas, raisins, a bit of doughiness. A bit like a mince pie. Looks boring. Flavour is kind of floral and fruity but with a slightly astringent finish. That said, this rounds out into a kind of cookie flavour that redeems it. Complex and interesting.

Sep 6, 2007 Very earthy aroma, some sweetness too it. Flavor was a mix of sweet caramel notes and some floral hop notes. light bodied and easy to drink yet it was kinda thick on the tongue. Really enjoyable.

Apr 16, 2009 (Bottled, sampled earlier when RB was broken) Clear, deep golden with a small, firm and partly lasting head. Mild aroma of nutty conifer tree, citrusness, berries, and a hint of pineapple. Toffee-malty, nutty-hoppy flavor with citrusy fruitiness, junipery resin, and slightly gingery-burning in the aftertaste. Ligt to medium, slightly thin body with medium carbonation. Overall a pleasant, easily drinkable brew with personality. Pretty mild, though.

Nov 30, 2004 Hazy gold color with a fleeting head.
Aroma is malty with herbal notes that I can’t place.
The flavor is lightly sweet with a bit of bitterness in the finish. The heather is very much hidden and presents itself more as a complexity that defies description rather than being up front and obvious. Interesting beer that is not bad.

Jan 13, 2005 Bottle - 330ml. Heavily carbonated light amber body topped with an average lasting white creamy head. Nice malty/hoppy aroma with various herbal and flowery notes. Taste is refreshing and dominated by the herbal flavors. Ends with a dry bitter finish. Interesting, without being spectacular... Thank you PrimeMinister!

Jan 28, 2006 Bottle. This reminds me in so many ways of the north of Jutland, where I hail from. I remember walking to the beach, to look at wome...ehh...the sunset and passing the heather covered dunes...ahhh...wonderful memories...
