jjpm74 (3447), Connecticut, USA Oct 5, 2008 Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of heather and earthy. Tastes spicy and sweet with some dry maltiness on the finish.
BeerHawk (801), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Oct 21, 2008 Bottle from trade with Butters. (Batch 088017) Pours gold with a fizzy thin white head that’s gone in seconds. Floral and citrus aroma with a slight honey background. The flavor finds a slight sour floral and apple with a light malt backing. Light to medium body, even carbonation, light sour aftertaste. dalekliz (292), San Diego, California, USA Oct 19, 2008 Bottle, sampled at RBSG 08. Pours a hazy gold with a white ring. Tart fruit and herbal aroma. Taste is clean and sharp, the heather comes through nicely. Lingering clean crispness. Not bad. JCB (1124), Durham, USA Oct 18, 2008 12oz from Once Upon a Vine, Richmond. Slightly cloudy golden pour, with modest carbonation and a minimal, crisp head. The nose is slightly earthy, just a bit sweet. The carbonation gives it a dry, almost cider-like consistency, which is certainly backed up by the faintly tart notes in the taste. A hint of sweet honey and mild grassy/spicy flavors too. Worth a shot, but certainly nothing too impressive. Immy (1610), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Aug 15, 2008 12 oz bottle from dkachur. Hazy, dirty gold with a small off white head. Sweet malt nose, lightly floral and spicy heather. Mild, sweet flavor, herbal, spicy heather, lightly grainy. Soft medium-light body. Not bad for what it is.
