Sep 18, 2008 I really liked this brew. Pours a hazy golden color. The taste is not quite something I can put my finger on so I am assuming that it’s the heather flowers. Very unique, but very good for something different. I can be rather adventerous in my tates sometimes and this beer seemed to really hit the spot. Not something to drink on a regular basis, but good nonetheless.

Sep 2, 2008 11.2oz bottle, courtesy of my brother. Thanks, Phil! Pours a hazy, peachy orange color; off-white head with good retention and glistening lacing. Kind of an odd aroma: floral notes, various soft spices, and dog food; nicely floral somewhere in there, but hard to get around the dog food / stale wet malt note. Not mouthwatering. Medium mouthfeel: chewy floral and spice notes (very soft, herbal), basic sugary malts, and touches of that wet malt / dog food note again (though less pronounced than in the aroma); very odd beer; relaxed carbonation. Lengthy finish: stale floral notes, wet malts, and basic sugar.

Aug 29, 2008 Finalmente dopo tanta curiosità, ecco che al Duca mi imbatto nella Fraoch, una ale scozzese aromatizzata con l’erica piuttosto che con il luppolo. Le note agresti nell’aroma, che è fantastico, avvolgente, dolce e speziato, si diluiscono in un abboccato un po’ più generico, tuttavia con particolare sentore erbaceo e finale più secco del prevedibile. Ottima.

Aug 17, 2008 Aroma is malty, light fruit. Taste is very one dimensional. Malt with a floral aftertaste. This makes a decent "hot day" beer. Easy to drink.

Aug 11, 2008 Aroma is sweet matls, with scant detectable hops, sweet fruits, suggesting berries, and figs. It’s color is a golden translucent color, akin to a cider, with a thin white collar. It’s flavor is a light sweet fruit and malt, with berries. The palate is like a champagne, light dry, w/ moderate effervescence.

Strange but interesting and nice caramel-mint aroma – perhaps cinnamon. Chewy, cloying, toffee with mint. Sweet yet balanced. Very intersting. It’s beer but not as we know it.

Jul 27, 2008 An interesting Scottish ale, one of the better ones produced here. Very herby aroma and taste to go with it. Bought from local oddbins.
