Commercial Description:
Dragonmead uses heather tips imported from Scotland to create this unusual brew. Its malty sweet aroma does not disappoint. Chocolate Malt imparts a great deal of the flavor of this beer but does not over-power the finish, which is defined by the powdery dryness of the heather. All in all, a malty brew with a very clean finish. ABV 5.7%

Reddish in color with a white head. Fruity aroma, mangos especially, with a carmel malt hit as well. Apples and pears with just a touch of mango for th fruity taste and also some carmel and a hint of bitterness. Easy drinking.

Draft... Hazy, caramel-colored ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. The lightly floral aroma and subtle, malty flavor are a bit nondescript, but that’s fairly consistent with the style. Hints of butterscotch, herbs and white wine. Light-bodied with moderate carbonation. Short, crisp, vineous finish. A subtle, difficult style to master. Dm’s done a pretty nice job.

On tap: Light spice in the aroma. Mostly transparent reddish-brown with an off-white head. Roasty malty taste with some hops in the finish.

On tap at The Hunt Club. A heather ale, yeah sure I’ll try it. You can see the carbonation bubbles in it, and then a white creamy head tha leaves spider lace. Creamy mouthfeel. The aroma is malty. Good bitterness however in the taste and not a bad beer.

Tap-Pours dark amber with no head. Very good malt-hop balance with no overwhelming features. Very drinkable ale.

I only have one brew to compare this to and that is Froach. I would definitely go with the Froach if I had a choice. I was excited about trying a locally brewed take on a heather ale, but I found the heather spiciness to be understated here. Dark amber, with a nice white head. Yeasty spiciness in the aroma along with hops (? shouldn't really be there, should it). A well balanced brew, just not what my palate was anticipating.
