Oct 23, 2005 A hazy orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is quite spicy with lots of herbs, as well as notes of chocolate. The flavor is sweet with quite powerful notes of honey, but also notes of flowers, I seem to pick up roses, and herbs, but also some heather. The end is dry with the spicy honey lingering. I like this - I would have enjoyed living 4000 years ago, if this was what I was drinking.

May 16, 2005 Updated: Jul 3, 2005(Bottle 50 cl) Presumably a historic ale from Scotland from times when heather rather than hops were used as bittering ingredient. Beautiful amber, filtered with a creamy head. Has some gingery notes, but it’s probably from the added sweet gale. A very interesting beer. 290804

Jun 30, 2000 Interestingly enough, this isn’t even the best heather ale I’ve had. That was Burghead Pictish Ale from Alameda in Portland, OR. Still, this is a great beer.
