Jan 16, 2009 Bought from utobeer in the borough market. This is a challenging beer for me....i can’t stand gooseberries! I was pleasantly surprised by this though, it’s a wheat beer but with a tart hoppiness that makes it very refreshing, gooseberries weren’t overpowering and blended really well with the hops and i guess bog myrtle....what ever the hell that is?

Jan 6, 2009 Bottle out of Xmas giftpack. Heady fruit aroma with gooseberry,orange, pine, beeswax. Bit unfiltered quality pils, bit murky tripel of about 9%.Clear or amber, wheat slickness,Conditioning headless soon as it hits the glass. Nice earthy tang, honey, soap, digestives. Hints of peat, honey and lemon. Feels like a filtered to death tripel shandy thats held on to some earthy fruit notes. OK, just a bit flimsy

Jan 3, 2009 I really don’t know what a gooseberry is either. I guess its alright, in a tourist shop kind of way. Nothing you’d find if you actually went to scotland, that’s for sure. But, yeah, its just ok.

Dec 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours a copper body with 1 finger white head. Grainy wheat nose with light floral hop body and some dry earthiness. A thin metallic flavor and a light berry in the backbone of the body but its drown out by the wheaty graininess of the beer.

Dec 24, 2008 330ml bottle
5.0% ABV
I tried this beer after purchasing a 4-pack of "Historic Scottish Ales" from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer pours a transparent light gold colour with almost no head. The aroma is extremely fruity with the gooseberries dominating the aroma. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is earthy, sour malts, and some hoippy bitterness in the finish.

Dec 22, 2008 Bottle: Bought a sample pack of the Heather Ales, the Grozet is flowery, sweet and light. Interesting.
