Freaking awesome. Aroma is citrusy but also featuring a bright floral note. Flavor is also floral, nearly chewy with flowers, but the real gem is the tartness, getting into Berliner weisse territory. The floral character follows through all the way to the lightly bitter-floral finish. Very refreshing although the malts sat a little too heavy to be called a true lawnmower beer, but the wonderful mix of floral heather, citrus and tartness makes for a very characterful beer. Hazy golden with a foamy head.

BeerHawk’s rating just below mine about sums it up. I wonder if the sourness is the result of a slight infection.

@Richmond/Williamsburg get together-12 oz bottle-pours an off white ring for a head and hazy yellow/gold color. Aroma is apple, heather, light malt. Taste is slightly tart apple cider, secondary heather, light malt. OK/mild effervescence.

12 ounce bottle from a sampler. Batch code Orange pour with no head. Heather appears in the aroma with citrus and caramel notes. The heather is less noticeable amongst the sweet grainy notes in the taste, showing up as a more herbal note. Thick and syrupy texture. I’m not a fan. No signs of infection. Batch code 088017.

12 oz bottle. Amber color. Aroma is slightly sweet, with malty, spice notes. I didn’t seem to have the same problems other raters seem to have had. My batch code is 088017 as well.

Bottle courtesy of Butters. Batch Code 088017. Rather hazy golden body with a small creamy white head. Fairly sour and fruity aroma. Flavor is slightly sour, with some grassy, floral hints, light caramel and fruit, and hints of what may be the heather. Medium light body with moderate carbonation.
