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.

Mild butterscotch (diacetyl) and caramel malts in the nose. Clear amber coloured body is topped by a shy white head that recedes to ring. Caramel malts in the flavour with fair bitterness are undercut by a slick butterscotch note. Some biscuity malt notes especially in the aftertaste. Medium body with moderate carbonation. A fairly average brown ale. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle (BB 04/08, Brewery Creek, Jul-07).

Poured a dark copper with a thin head, aroma of malt, vanilla and caramel. Flavour was thin and sweet, with a strange almost smokey aftertaste.

mgermani (932) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 27, 2007
Pours a slightly hazy dark orange-amber with a lovely tight head and minimal lacing. I could smell the butterscotch aroma as soon as I started pouring. Tastes bitter at first, but warms up into a nice light butterscotch taste with only a touch of a slightly peaty hop note. Body is well carbonated and creamy. Very nice beer, very weak aftertaste but otherwise no complaints.

Thanks Fukito! A sweet beer with some bitternes. Pleasant fruity notes, a little dry. I’m not used to Scotch ales, but this one seems ok.

Unappealing cloudy amber,no head.Sweet brown sugar nose. Boring sugary flat palate, not much else.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 11, 2007
Hazy reddish-chestnut. No head. The aroma is toasty with chocolatey accents, earth, nuts. Full body at first, but gets a bit watery late. Watery-ish finish aside, it is mostly chewy. Sweetish flavour carries toasty, earthy malt notes and maybe some vague esters just for fun.

BeerPrince (1701) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 7, 2007
Hazelnut with minimal head. Aroma has some scotch and caramel with a light grassy note. Full flavoured, rich and semi-sweet caramel. Nicely done scotch ale.

VEry nice, it has a good Scotch aroma indeed, but also a great sweet flavour. The foam is good and not annoying.
