Heather Ales Alba

Scots Pine Ale has a pine and yeasty aroma. The appearance is a deep amber with large particles floating within the beer. The head is nice with lacing. There is a yeasty quality to the flavor with hints of a woodiness.

Bottle. Pours hazy burnt orange with a small off-white head and some lined lacing. Fruit (apple) and pine grassy aroma with malt (cookie) notes. Fruity oak malt and yeast flavor with a pleasing and smooth berry finish. Smooth medium body that is a touch fizzy.

I didn’t care much for it, but it was a matter of personal taste, not lack of quality on the brewer’s part. It had a beige head with decent retention. Kind of a deep amber color, with an intentionally cloudy haze (it’s obviously unfiltered). The aroma was very unique! It spicy, almost wine-like hints. Cidery, but in a good way. I’m not sure I tasted the pine, but I’ve never tasted pine before so I’m not sure what to compare it to.

Bottle @ Medelhavspärlan, Stockholm
Woodsy, springy, sweet. Nice pine character that might be a bit overpowering. A very special brew.

Bottle poured a clear reddish copper with an offwhite head. Aromas of sweet fruit, earthiness, vanilla and notes of pine and spruce. Palate was smooth and a bit resiny. Flavors of pine and spruce, sweet and fruity,some earthiness with a sweet lingering finish.

Pours amber-red with a light head. Nose smells a bit like bubblegum with a hint of turpentine (not in a bad way), white grapes and cream. Mouth is interesting -- pine doesn’t seem to dominate, but there is a distinct earthy woodsyness to it. Mouth also has a creamy feel which finishes dry with a roasted aftertaste. Bubblegum comes through here too, though it’s not sweet. An interesting beer.

[bottle from peckhams] Pours amber with a moderate head. The nose is fruity, berry fruits, very earthy, woody character. well bodied.

aroma is weak but good with simple heather deals goin on. TYaste is sweet too sweeet for me, a great beer but not complete.
