Clear, golden. Killer head. Very unassertive nose. Some sweetness and maybe a little of the floral aspect mentioned. Smooth, soft body,light floral and malty notes, slightly bitter. Not bad by any means.

UPDATED: JUL 27, 2003 Re-rate:strange, this is nothing how i remember it. I previously gave it 3.8, but i had i on cask at the Kent Beer Festival, and it tasted like a completly different beer, thin and flowery, with a very strange flavour (can't pick it) which i guess is from the heather, strange.

Delicate mild grassy and mineral aromas/flavors hauntingly akin to Coors. Dry, soft bitter flavors stretch into the finish. Enjoyable.

I saw all of the good comments and had to add my own. It smelled great, it looked great, it tasted like a flower. That’s not a compliment. The after-taste just about killed me. I hated this beer. Maybe it’s heather beers in general. It’s the only one I’ve ever had.

Unique floral aroma and flavor. Personally, i think i like the aroma better than the taste. Overall, a very different but pretty good beer.

Interesting. Slightly cloudy golden color, like a hefeweizen. The aroma isn’t all that floral to me, but there is a distinctly floral aftertaste. The overall flavor is far more like a lager than an ale. The wierdest thing about it is that I, normally a hop fiend, am enjoying it a lot.

Very nice in an earth way. A different beer by far. Nice with a lite meal

I loved the smell. It had a unique earth taste that i really enjoyed. I just wish it was cheaper.

Nice beer to have with a light dinner. I have never eaten heather before, but I guess that is the ’earthy’ flavor everyone describes. Very pleasant brew.

On 9/10/01, I rated this as a ’boring’ 1.9. I tried it again from the bottle and I am still unimpressed. It’s not bad but I didn’t think it had any strong flavor. Just a typical ordinary beer. Reading the reviews makes me wonder if I had the same beer (I did). I’ve had it twice, and was unimpressed both times, so there won’t be a 3rd time.
