The Heather Ale is unfiltered, yet with great clarity, and has a light chestnut color. The heather tips were grown and harvested in Scotland, and used as a late kettle and hop back addition. And at 4.3% ABV, a wonderful Scottish inspired session ale.
Malt: British Pale, Amber, Crystal, Munich, Oats
Hops: Kent Goldings, Willamette
