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.

There is a very light aftertaste of oak. Soft carbonation, red colour. Nothing special - unremarkable scotch ale. 500ml bottle in Mar del Plata after hanging around teh Dakar 2012 rally opening.

Derek881 (664) - Frederick, Maryland, USA - MAY 20, 2011
Poured from a large bottle into a glass mug to drink. The beer had a brown soda-like color with a lot of rising bubbles and a bubbly tan head that had short retention and little cling. The aroma featured heavy earthly malty tones with caramel and a good bit of grainy and perhaps pine hops. Its taste was somewhat sweet and malty, with a bit of grain and some molasses. The beer had good lively fizz on the palate and a medium-density with some dryness. One of the better beers I have had in Argentina.
