Aug 29, 2007 500 ml bottle, at Blackfriars, Glasgow, as "Grozet Lagered Celtic Ale". ABV is 5.0%. Brewed with crushed gooseberries. Golden colour, slightly hazy. Moderate head. Nice aroma of hops and gooseberries. Lagerish flavour (drank it too cold though), with moderate but decent hops and notes of gooseberries.

Aug 27, 2007 Bottled. Murky brown ale smells of berries. A bit too thin and sharp, the gooseberries do not marry too well with the wheat and barley. The berry juice shines through like a cordial. Interesting, but not quite there.

Aug 23, 2007 I was totally not a fan of this at all. When it was cold, it was very acidic and...well...unappealing. I let it sit out for a while and with warmth, it did get better. However, I think it was the gooseberry that really didn’t make me happy.

Aug 21, 2007 Bottle. Nose of pine, mint, sage and fresh cut grass. Wow! These Heather Ales have beautiful noses. They’re all quite fragrant. Pours bright gold with a bright white head. Lots of grass and wheat on the palate. Some cereal grainyness as well. Medium bodied. Finishes with a burst of fresh and dry hops.

Aug 20, 2007 Pleasant hop aroma, highly aromatic like flowers and apples. Straw colored. Served this one too cold so the head was too small. Hazy appearance. Pronounced sourness from the gooseberry. Uniquely herbal flavors like sage. Apple too. Overall an interesting beer although one I don’t come back to often. Summery. I rate Heather Ales generously because of their creativity and the refreshing uniqueness of their beers.

Aug 16, 2007 330ml Bottle pours out clear gold topped with a white head. Aroma of a little sour berry and weat. A nice mouth full so so.

Aug 16, 2007 Poured a clear light orange color with a white head. Aroma was a mix of grass notes, wheat and some berry notes. Flavor seemed to be of mild wheat notes and very light on the fruit. It seemed to be too carbonated at times. rather lackluster.
