Commercial Description:
Scottish Ale is our interpretation of the hearty brews native to Scotland. A shade darker than our Bitter, with a rich, slightly sweet first impression on the palate that rounds out to a satisfying maltiness and a medium-dry hop finish.

(Bottle). Sweet malty aroma. Color is reddish amber, with a very small head. Flavor caramelly malt, followed by a mild dryish finish. Not great, but better than some other choices from this brewer.

Bottle from my Vermont vacation. Amber color wtiha small white head. This does not taste like a scottish ale to me. Aroma was fine with malts, honey and some hops. Overall the flavor was just too hoppy for the style. I dont expect this much hop flavor in a scottish.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thin off white head that quickly dissapears. Aroma was grassy and piney. Tasted sweet with an oaky tinge.

Smells of deep smoky malt.Pours a deep brownish almost red color with a thin white head. It tastes sharply of spices and smoke. Not bad
