Jan 26, 2006 Je l’ai bu avec un pizza un peu d’épice, ils avaient raison. Ce n’est pas une bière typique, elle a un saveur hors de l’ordinaire, un goût d’herbe et épice, florale et beaucoup de caractaire.

Sep 12, 2002 Updated: May 16, 2003This beer really rocks.
No time to write very much about it. However, I love Scotch Ales and this is on of my favorites. Just go buy a bottle and give it a try. The heather adds an interesting twist to this malty brew.

Mar 30, 2006 Smells pretty nice. Was told this was a Scottish ale, what makes it traditional? A dry finish is noticeable, and this isn’t too malty. I could drink this again if I had to.

Jul 21, 2004 Pours golden orange with a nice white head. The nose comes off real smooth and soft, a mix of maple syrup, malt, and honey. I really like the smell of this... One of the best I have ever put my nose to. The taste is very smooth with hints of honey and spices. This ale is very interesting. I don’t know what heather smells or tastes like, but if it is represented correctly here I would like to seek out this intriguing flower.

Dec 9, 2005 Pours a cloudy straw hue with fluffy one finger buttermilk head and mild carbonation.
Lemony floral nose with hints of coriander, maybe cinnamon.
Very floral taste with cinnamony finish. A little hop presence buried deep in the mix. Well blended.
Mouthfeel is of medium density with light carbonation. I got a strange burning sensation on my lips, although I couldn’t tell whether that was coming from the beer or some other factor. I wasn’t eating at the time so aside from the glass I was using, I’m not sure where else this could have come from.
I could see this making a good session beer - not too strong either tastewise or in terms of alcohol content.

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle. Clear, golden color with a thin head. Light, fruity aroma. Really simple yet good flavor. With a strong malt backbone, and a dry, clean finish, this beer is semi herbal or floral, has light notes of apricot, touch of grape. Very refreshing, I don’t know why such low scores. I thought this was well done and original. The history alone deserves a point or two.

Oct 15, 2005 Malty aroma rises from freshly opened bottle. Pours a deep orange with very little head. What head there is has soapy look. The aroma has slight floral tones with hints of heather (no suprise since fraoch is Gaelic for heather and this ale is made using traditional techniques and flavored with the flower of the heather plant). The flavor is very malty with no strong bitterness at the front but it does coat the tongue with a slight bitterness on the finish. The malty sweetness stays on the palate long after finishing the drink. Definitely worth a try for anyone who enjoys malty beers.
