Apr 6, 2007 bottle I liked this one. Poured turbid gold with a medium white head and good lacing. Aroma of malt, gooseberries, hops, and fruit. Tastes fruity, with hints of hops, malt, gooseberries. Finishes crisp, smooth, with a berry sweetness. Good complexity, and a very worthy beer.

Apr 1, 2007 Bottle. Bought the "Historic Ales of Scotland" sampler pack. I had both Fraoch and Kelpie prior to, and enjoyed them both. This is certainly an interesting brew. It pours a cloudy, golden in color with plenty of yeasties. The head was a big fizzy inch tall that disappeared in no time flat. The flavor is almost that of a light wiezen - (wheat ale) and just a touch of fresh fruits. The finish is crisp and clean with just a touch of a citrusy bite. The aroma is fresh, clean with a hint of grain, yeast and fresh fruit.

Apr 1, 2007 Straw with a weak head. The aroma is sweet/sour, and the mouthfeel is rather flat. The flavour has artificial notes of citrus, and I also get notes of creek water (bathing) and the gooseberry notes are weak. It’s a very different beer.

Apr 1, 2007 This $1.99 bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foam with a frothy top medium sized white colored bubbles that were and left behind a slightly hazy uncarbonated orange brown colored body and a poor lacing. The mild edelberry aroma was slightly malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The mild flavor contained notes of seaweed malt and mild hops. A horrible one that I would not buy again.

Mar 30, 2007 Part of 4-pack labeled "Historic Ales of Scotland." Pretty unique beer here, not quite like anything I have tasted. The berry flavor is quite refreshing in this one and not too over the top. A bit of spiciness with a sweet, dry finish.

Mar 21, 2007 Hazy amber colour. Not bad, I enjoyed it more than the Heather Ale, although its nothing special.
