Draught @ the brewery. I had never heard of a heather ale before. This was lightly murky dark red with a small foamy beige head, sweet caramel aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter caramel taste with spicy and floral aftertaste, thin body, long spicy caramel finish. I have no idea how heather tastes but it was quite floral. All in all it tasted a bit medicinal though.

Aromas are slightly old resin hops, citrus, malt and onion. Flavors are similar to nose, add in a bit of stone fruit and melon. Bittersweet up front with slightly soft carbonation. Finish is a little melon candy. Not bad.
