Heather Ales Fraoch (Bottle)

330ml bottle. Cloudy and thick light brown color. Full of sediment. Sweet with a mild herbal finish. Tastes mildly of honey. Very easy drinking. I had held this beer in higher regard in previous samplings, maybe this bottle is a little past it’s prime.

Bottle. Wooden juniper and strawberry aroma. Hazy amber, low white head. Somewhat disappointing flavor: Light straw and cookie malt, light heather bitterness. Lightbodied, mellow. Fairly dead aftertaste.

[WBA Styles Tasting] Clear yellow color. Very distinct flowery aroma... herbal, almost root-like. No real hop presence. Spicy, herbal flavors, very interesting-- almost like a curry spice character. Fruity apple flavors underneath. Complex and slightly tart. Finishes clean. Overall, quite tasty and interesting.

Very interesting, don’t drink too many like this one. Highly floral boquet. Mild taste, sweet, maybe a little carmel. Not my style really. If you prefer a belgian style ale maybe.

With its floral grassy aroma and finish, Fraoch is very smooth and easy to drink. While the aroma is full of character, the taste lacks any discernible characteristic. Interesting drink. Worth trying for its lack of hops

Medium amber color with a thin head. Light caramel flavor follows an almost non-existent aroma. Possibly served too cold.

Burnt caramel color with a small white head that left quickly. The aroma is sweet and malty. The flavor is much the same but there is honey in here as well as caramel.

It had a deep golden body with out much head. It had a thin caramel flavor, but still good.
