Habanero and Heather Ales - Batch #96


Here are a pair of unlikely cousins, born from the same mash, but fermented with different yeasts and bottled with different adjunct ingredients. The Heather Ale was bottled with essence of heather flowers, an old Celtic recipe I imitated from Fraoch Heather Ale, an historic Scottish Ale. The Habanero Ale is a popular recipe I developed years ago, with just a taste of the famous Habanero Pepper, the hottest little pepper in the world. The monks on the label are from a greeting card I found. That's the Helix Nebula behind them. Where you goin', guys?
