Beer of the Week: Fraoch Heather Ale

Beer score: 5.5

Company: Williams Bros. Brewing Co.
ABV: 5.0
IBU: 12

Heather ale is a Scottish brew made from heather flowers and Scottish malts.

This brew had a slight vinegar scent when I poured it, but there's not much of that in the tasting. Over all, the smell is very faint, slightly sweet with perhaps hints of honey.

Has an interesting mixed flavor of sweet and bitter with a flowery taste. There's more of that honey along with some herbal and flowery flavoring.

Not a superb brew, but not a bad one. Non beer snobs will probably find this most unusual.

Worth tasting for its uniqueness, but I don't think it's worth being a regular drinking beer.
