This is an odd bit
of brew that comes from Scotland. Fraoch brews a heather ale, which the brewery
states has been brewed in Scotland for over 4000 thousand years. It comes in
about the most Scottish looking bottle that is not scotch of William Wallace’s
skull. It is a mix of dark green Celtic designs and shiny copper and gold
additions. It will catch a ruttin A.D.D. drinker’s eye and the price is not bad
for a single. I found it once or twice in a four pack at our local liquor
store, but can’t soddin remember the price.
The beer itself is
a nice golden hue and easy to see through as water. I ruttin expected a cloudy
beer for a Scottish Ale, but at only 5% alcohol it is not a soddin surprise it
is easy to see through. The real point winner for this beer is its flavor. It
is a flowery mix of sweet ant bitter. It has a floral note, not a soddin
surprise with heather flowers in the beer, initially with the malt after shock.
It is a damn tasty beer and drinks smooth. It has been a definite rebuy for
this captain.
Rating: 5/5
