wyzzywyz22 (387), Wirral, Merseyside, England Jul 16, 2008 Bottle, Barleycorns, Nantwich. Poured a hazy golden colour with a small white head. Fruity fragrant aroma. Smooth mouthfeel. Flavour was on the sweet side with vague herb, spice and malt notes. Didn’t think I was going to like this, but its not bad at all.
Ober (396), Best, Netherlands Oct 10, 2008 A hazy yellow/golden colored beer, with a nice white head. The aroma of flowers, some malts, hops, a little fruits and spices. The taste of spices like pepper and clove, fruits like orange and citrus. It’s bitter and warming. The aftertaste is also bitter and it stays warm/burning for awhile. brew4fun (130), West Virginia, USA Oct 9, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours cloudy golden, minimal short-lived head. Moderate floral aroma. Flavor of sweet light malt, more of the floral character. Slightly bitter, thin body, dry finish. Overall: nothing to dislike, but not much to like either. As this is my first heather ale, I really have nothing to compare it to. Low in aroma, carbonation, flavor. I would not go out of my way for this one, but would select it over commercial pale lagers any day. boFNjackson (539), Portland, Oregon, USA Oct 8, 2008 This beer seems underrated on here. I thought it was really good. Bottle... Poured a hazy orange with a white head. Aroma was a little skunky with with hops and berries probably from the heather flowers. Despite the look of this ale (as being light), it definitely has some substance and depth to the flavors. Well carbonated with strong, floral, leafy flavors with some tartness probably from the malted barley. Pretty tasty. thooper41 (229), USA Oct 8, 2008 330ml bottle: pours golden brown with minimal white head, aroma has a slight hint of malt, flavor has a very dry malt ofset by a slight bitterness but im not even sure if there are hops in this, it could be the taste from the heather but its very interesting bitterness. all in all this beer gets an A for effort on the style but just a pretty good beer over all. bbrock81 (192), Le Mars, Iowa, USA Oct 5, 2008 Pours a cloudy dark yellow with a very small, disappearing head. Aroma is floral, fruity and malty sweet. Flavor is of chewy malt followed by a dry finish. Not bad, but nothing too special either.
