Dec 17, 2007 Pours a hazy yellow color with a bit of a soapy top head. Smell is sweet and of gooseberries and wheat. Taste is wheaty and bread like with some hints of berries. Decent beer but I think this was a bit too paste its prime.

Dec 1, 2007 Bottle shared with a friend. Floral scent. Flavours of oak, wheat, cardamom. Highly unusual beer. Didn’t fancy any of these much.

Nov 30, 2007 Pours pale yellow with a thin splotchey head. The aroma is a bit thin, it seems like there could be some depth there but it’s too light to tell, some wierd minty notes are all I really pick up on. The flavour is very interesting, a slight bitter hop bite hits the tongue first which quickley fades to a light minty flavour, and finishes with an odd berry flavour (i’m assuming gooseberry but i’ve never tasted one to say). All and all a pretty damn interesting beer. If your not enjoying this beer, it might be too cold, let it warm up a touch.

Nov 28, 2007 Bottle@Home. Strange herbs in the aroma, almost like seaweed. Amber color, small off-white head, good lace. Sweet, light bitter, fruity sourness, herbs and spices, soft mouthfeel. No bad flavors but very specific.

Nov 24, 2007 Bright golden. Sweet and rather vegetal malt aroma. Rather dull taste: some elastoplast, something faintly citric. Not much bitterness. Too much like Carlsberg Edge. I am sure 16th century Scots monks would have thought so too.

Nov 19, 2007 Pours a murky golden colour with a small white surface film (when I opened the bottle the carbonation went nuts a spilled out; I swear I never shook the bottle). Really faint, indistinct aroma, malty and fruity, I guess. The taste is weird, sweet barley malts with contrasting wheat malts, followed by gooseberry sourness, then more sweet, sticky malts, then a noticeable hop presence in the finish. The aftertaste is of gooseberries. Carbonation dominates the mouthfeel. There’s some good aspects here like the sticky malts, and for something that smells like nothing it sure has taste to make up for it, but there’s still this mild unpleasantness to it. Maybe gooseberries and bog myrtle just aren’t my thing.

Nov 17, 2007 330ml bottle, 5% a/v
Pours a very average gold colour with a thin white head. It smells of gooseberry and raspberry. The taste is unusual, almost like a mildly fruity ginger ale
