500ml Bottle - Hazy gold/amber with a foamy head. Honey in the aroma with some malt. Sweetish honey in the taste with some vanilla notes. Not bad and the honey is noticeable but not excessive like in some honey beers.

Bottled. Hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is honey, heather and some bittering hops. Flavour is hops, honey, heather and a lot of herbal notes. Not that exciting, but nice to drink still.

Yellow with a big white head. Lots of heather aroma, very herbal with a hint of honey too(!) Sweet and rather plain honey-beer flavour.

Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Never heard of this brewery before. Bottle conditioned ale. Gold, lasting beige head. Rather lovely. Tastes like a dark beer. Fragrant. Really good. I like it. Fragrant with good heather notes.
