Sep 23, 2004 Orangeish amber in color, slightly hazy, with a large, cream-colored head. Head is mostly diminishing and leaves behind some lacing. Aroma is strong of heather flowers, with some added caramalized malt, cinnamon, and something rooty I can only compare to ginger. Heather gives an herbally, squash-like flavor. Lightly roasted malts add another dimension to the flavor. Rather dry finish. Good in small doses -- too much, and the gingerness can get a tad draining.

Jul 27, 2007 Bottle. Deep orange with a patchy head. Aroma is sweet citrus with a touch of pine. Flavor is sourish with a very unique resiny tinge. Really different and enjoyable. Thick and full-bodied.

Sep 23, 2007 bottle poured an amber in color with a thin white foam layer on the top. decent carbination, smell is caramel malt, flowery yeast, nutmeg, and some earthy tones. taste is lighter than the smell leads on, malts are fairly smooth, dry on the finish, and some sweetness. definitely a different beer in a nice way, the heather has a very garden grown spices taste like it could come from my own herb garden. interesting to think of people thousands of years ago drinking this stuff, lots of heather instead of hops.

Jun 25, 2009 Pours with a medium fluffy white head and a hazy blonde color. Aroma is spicy with some ginger and lots of floral notes with just a touch of rubbing alcohol. Flavor is like the aroma very strong with a spicy ginger, some slight grainy maltiness, and a bit of alcohol. I’d have thought this was stronger than what it was with as much alcohol seems to show through but I like it none the less. The flavor is very herbal, almost like a very good herbal tea. The palate is soft; this is a very nice beer to drink.

Jan 6, 2008 500ml bottle from Waitrose, Christchurch. Pours a fine amber colour with a small white head. Has floral / citrus aromas. Very pleasing taste with, again, floral notes coming through. Also, a hint of clover?. A nice dry finish to it. Certainly an unusual ale but very pleasant.

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.

May 12, 2009 Pours golden color with white head that quickly disappears. Very floral aroma. Flavor is herbal, flowery and spicy. I’m getting some cinnamon and citrus also. Medium body with lively carbonation. I enjoyed this one.
