[Gravity cask at beer festival at The Retreat, Reading] Quite sweet without being sticky, floral flavours dominate with light fruits behind and a big kick of gingery spice, but this had a unique overall flavour that I can’t describe; it’s like no other beer I’ve ever tried. It’s like walking across moorland on a rare sunny spring day! Tastes a lot stronger than it is. Enjoyed this better the more I drank, and I’d happily have it again. Flavour lingered a lot afterwards.

On Cask at NERAX 2008 Somerville, MA. Heather aroma and taste but not overpowering. A bit light for my tastes, would prefer some other flavors to balance.

Pretty flat, thin and tasteless really. Quite fruity - not really very good.

Cask at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Hazy golden color, no head. The glass smell the egg; it covers the rest, but it doesn’t seem to be much more. Rather weak, with some dry caramel flavor, some bitterness without hop quality, light herbs. Uninteresting.

Cask 78 Ultimate Glasgow tasting afters pub crawl: Poured a golden color with white head. The aroma is floral with hops. The taste is tart with floral and heather is a whole new taste I never had before.

Three Judges. Seems very silly that i havnt rated this before. Aroma is very floural, perfumy, heather is a kay player with some tart grape character also. Taste is similar mouthfeel is watery and refreshing, thistle and pale malts come though but heather really does dominate everything.
