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.

PilsnerPeter (2958) - Flushing, New York, USA - MAY 12, 2008
Bottle at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering: Copper with a thin head. The aroma is odd with some tobacco and old dust. Thin body with a graininess, some mild hay and brown sugar. Somewhat vacant and boring.

Svesse (4215) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - FEB 9, 2008
(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 8 Feb 2008) Mahogany colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, grainy nose with notes of toffee, nuts and dark fruit. Malty, nutty taste with dark fruit, grain, caramel, chocolate and a short whiff of earthy bitterness in the finish. Malt dominates this tasty beer, but the finish is a bit short. Nice one.

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 7, 2008
(660ml bottle) Obtained in a trade with mgermani. Large frothy white head with a deep ruby red body. Nose is very enjoyably scotch and malty. Slightly husky and woody but mainly a smooth enjoyable finish. This from someone not terribly fussed on the style.

ante (3375) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - DEC 29, 2007
Bottled at Monks Café, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear brown colour with a large fluffy tan-coloured foam. Mellow malty aroma of butter, fudge, nuts and metal. Light-bodied for the style with notes of hay, nuts and butterscotch. Short finish of nut-shells and brown sugar.

scanovajr (557) - Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL - DEC 27, 2007
Bottled. A copper beer with a small white head. Aroma is malty and sweety, notes of butterscotch and slightly toasty. Taste is very malty, notes of caramel and brow sugar. Low bitterness. A bit watery in the end

Boutip (3294) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 21, 2007
Bottle courtesy of mgermani: Poured an amber color ale with a small foamy head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of medium caramel notes is definitely weaker then expected. Taste is a mix between some sweet malt with some toffee notes but in the end this just seems to be lacking character. Body is a bit thin with some medium carbonation. It appears this one fell short in a style that seems to be hard to master.

jazz88 (2384) - San Francisco, California, USA - DEC 11, 2007
Bottle in Buenos Aires. Brown color with a light tan head. The aroma has cereal, biscuits, and semi-sweet malts. Smells like the fresh grains from a homebrew. A dry finish with malty bread flavors.

TheGrandMaster (2308) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - OCT 18, 2007
Draught at the brewerys pub in Buenos Aires, a golden red colour with a foamy off-white head. A bready malt aroma. Bready and earthy in the flavour as well, with a dry and bitter finish.
