COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Josh's translation of the Spanish description: Ale (top-fermentation) has many followers at the Brewpub Antares, in Mar del Plata. A flashy ruby colour, fruity taste and malt accent are typical of beers in this style. And this is as well – because in Scotland – the place where Scotch Ale was born – the climate is good for barley, but not so friendly for hops. Antares Scotch is a beer with a full body. The alcohol level of 6%abv is virtually unnoticeable. It is recommended that Scotch ales should be served at 10C. This is ideal for drinking alone, or with beef, pork or pizza.

Coloração âmbar, espuma bege que se dissipou rapidamente e totalmente. Presença marcante de malte, além de madeira, lúpulo e fermento. Médio amargor. Conjunto equilibrado. Boa cerveja.

GregClow (2645) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 27, 2008
Bottle shared with jerc, mabel, blankboy & HogTownHarry - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Orange-amber colour with a wispy head. Aroma is sweet and lightly toasted, with a bit of caramel. Medium bodied. Flavour is OK, some light toffee and toasted malt. Nothing bad, quite drinkable, just pretty light for the style.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - OCT 25, 2008
(Bottle 33 cl) Clear amber golden with a dense, off-white head leaving laces. Sweetish caramel in the nose. Surprisingly light-bodied with a little burned caramel and a whiff of cardboard. No bitterness. Rather poor. 200908
