Heather Ales Alba

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber-coloured, presumably filtered with some sediment though. Sweetish almost honey-like. Has some Retsina-character - understandably. 240904

I am blown away by this remarkable Ale. It is a very unique beer (to me) and hard to describe for me. The initial drink is a snappy, spicy swallow that stays dormant for about three seconds. Then, all sorts of flavors come through, like (predictably) pine and spice, malty berries and others that I can’t explain. I love it.

Loose golden head. Gold auburn colour. Chemical smell like pine cleaner but no hint of fresh pine. Sweet flavour profile. Nice mouthfeel. Hints of cherries, port, and apricots. Just okay. Cheers!

dark amber (apricotty looking), with a small head. an assault of fruit in the aroma, with a flavor that overpowers (reminicent of blackberries), which i found disturbing. widdershins.

Bottle poured a dark brown amber with a good white head. Aroma of malt, ripe fruits and spice. Flavor is sweet malts with a heavy kick of pine flavor on the palate. Interesting

Amber colour with a slight haze and a small off white head. Fruity sweet aroma with a herbal touch. Sweet malty flavor with lots of pine notes. Not that interesting.

This is the only time I have had this beer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bronze color with a small tan head. The aroma is very odd - sweet and piney. The flavor is thick sweet malt and a strange piney element as well. Sweet smooth pine sol.
