Williams Bro Brewing's Fraoch (5%)

Fraoch: - The Original Craft Beer; brewed in Scotland since 2000 B.C. 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."

Sampled in bottle. Craft Ale

Golden Ale with a pale head. The aroma is very heathery (as one would expect from a heather beer). The taste is a smooth fruity taste with malty notes. The after taste is peculiar with an almost schnapps like feel to it.
