Description
Introduced by the Vikings, spruce and pine ales were very popular in Northern Scotland until the end of the 19th Century. Alba is a "triple" style ale, brewed to a traditional Highland recipe using the sprigs of spruce and pine collected every Spring. This complex rich tawny ale is best drunk at room temperature from a wine goblet.
Comments
BBC » Slightly sweet and fruity, quite light and tastey with a fairly unique flavour. I wouldn't want several in a row but I would take another if I had more than one on hand.
