A lightly hazed light blonde al with a thin off white head. A bizarre aroma of honey and chalk, boiled vegetables and mashed peas. In mouth, lactic acid with light honey remnants, light malt and body. Shared with Mike H. early 2007.

From Aucterader, Scotland. Bottled, 080808. Golden with nice head. Aroma of spices and a tone of dark honey. Flavor of malt and a hint of sucrosis.

Handpumped, Hootenanny Inverness. Pale yellow, floral aroma but not majorly heather, more honey. Good sweet taste.

<i> <b> Bottle from Craig, cheers mate!, had this the night before we set off for Munich 23-01-08 </i> </b> Wonderful aroma was the first thing I noted, the beer poured a hazy golden but once again the honey and yes a floralness no doubt from the heather. tasted quite strange but there was no doubting the honey attributes, refreshing and sweet I like this but I’m not sure exactly why, the aroma is definately my favourite part of this.

Bottle &#40;bought at the brewery&#41;:Pale golden and hazy, persistent white foam, delicate, Riesling-like, sourish-fruity nose &#40;peaches&#41;; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; a little bit drier - but with a tinge of honey - in the fruity, slightly bitter finish. a very pleasant thirst-quencher.....
