Dégustée en fût sur place. de couleur dorée-ambrée et voilée. Nez épicé (poivre doux, coriandre, notes de muscade, de cannelle, de clou de girofle et autres dont je ne peux nommer), légèrement fruité (agrumes sucrées, traces d’abricots et de poires), moyen d’herbes fraîches, légèrement malté de caramel doux,avec des petites notes de houblon floral. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et une texture un peu huileuse. Goût très légèrement fruité sucré (agrumes, léger de mangues et d’abricots, notes de petits fruits) suivi rapidement d’un goût épicé piquant (coriandre, léger de muscade, de cannelle, de gingembre et de poivre) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un léger goût de caramel doux avec des petites notes de céréales sucrées pui en finale, l’on retrouve un goût assez herbeux (ne ressemblant pas à un profil de houblon) avec des notes amères de houblon floral. Post-goût moyen, très légèrement amer de houblon floral avec un goût herbeux et aux petites notes fruitées. (printemps 2006)

A reddish amber ale with a thin white head. In aroma, herbal and spiced, light ginger, cloves and heather. In mouth, a good malt base, oily mouthfeel, with good hops, lingering herbs, patchouli, very intense. A challenging offering. On tap at brewpub, Nov. 20 2009.

On draught at the brewpub with MartinT, 4/16/05. Predominantly a copper-golden color, though there is a deeper tinge of amber giving this a colorful, pleasing body. Large, lazy bubbles rise to the top slowly and a very small white head appears, but is fairly quick to vanish. Served in a convex English pint glass, the aroma is still full and complex. Heather, rosemary, light anise and orange blossoms, lilac and light apples. The flavor begins with a good amount of heather, pears, cactus, tangerines, strawberries. Though the heather is the only thing of those noted that is actually in there, the combination of many herbs and malt produces a wonderful amount of complex flavors. Finish is fruity-sweet, with berries (juniper perhaps?), light caramel and oranges. Good amount of breadiness as it warms. Lively carbonation, but not overcarbonation, makes this quite refreshing on the hot spring day I had it. A slight bit of wateriness as it warms, but nothing out of style for a gruit. Medium body. I liked that there were no astringent notes, as I’m not a big fan of rye driven traditional ales. My overall experience was tempered, somewhat, by having had Kuhnhenn’s Gruit, which I feel is the best gruit I’ve had to date.

Amber coloured. Sweetish, medium bodied, herbal but one dimensional. Didn't stand out.
