Jun 2, 2008 Pale yellow with a small white head. Herbal aroma with thyme and the like. Dry and herbal flavour with a sourness that rubbed me the wrong way.

May 27, 2008 From a set of four tasters shared with the Knights. Poured a yellowish gold with soapy head. Sweet Bread/wheat nose and pallet. Thin and a bit watery. Good session but nothing really bringing me back for more.

May 23, 2008 Strong fruity aroma, some wheat. Slightly orange. tranlucent but not quite clear appearance. Relatively small head. The flavor is dominated by the gooseberries, and has a bready wheat-like quality underneath. Overall pleasant, a little thin. Palate is left with slight sweetness, but it doesn’t last long at all. Nice effort. I happen to be very interested in traditional ales, which remind us all of the timeless quality of beer.

May 20, 2008 Pours a clear straw colour with a frothy white head that clings to the glass and leaves spotty lacing. The aroma is of botanicals (gooseberries so they claim), wheat and lemon citrus. The flavour is zesty, herbal and short-lived, fading out almost immediadtely. The berry flavour accompanies a citrusy, malted wheat profile. It’s balanced, quenching and pleasant, but it lacks in body, complexity and palate duration. A nice session beer, but nothing to marvel at.
