Fraoch Heather Beer





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
