Fraoch Heather Ale
5.0% Gruit
The Brotherhood have been guardians of the ancient Gaelic recipe for "leann fraoich" (heather ale) since 1988 and are proud to be the only brewery still producing this unique style of beer and distributing it world wide. A light amber ale with floral peaty aroma, full malt character, and a spicy herbal finish - This beer allows you to literally pour 4000 years of Scottish history into a glass. Into the boiling bree of malted barley, sweet gale and flowering heather are added, then after cooling slightly the hot ale is poured into a vat of fresh heather flowers where it infuses for an hour before being fermented.

First time trying heather ale, quite muted on the nose but tastes really herbal and sweet with a honeyed fruit flavour and ends with a really pleasant spicy and malty finish, lovely beer but probably not something I'd drink all the time.

Very pleasant hint of fruity style from the Heather, a light tasting bitter.
