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.

12 oz. version, which is filtered, is brewed at Shipyard Brewing in Portland; 22 oz. version, which is not filtered and only sold locally, is brewed at Gritty McDuff’s in Freeport

I found this beer a sticky sweet with a harsh bitter finish. Way more bitter than I had expected.

Well, I’ll agree with both below. It’s not bad, it’s got some nice flavors, but it just needs some more body.

Sammys (428) - Portland, Maine, USA - JAN 21, 2002

I’ll have to agree with VENOM on this one. It was just way too thin for a Scottish Ale. Not bad, but not a Scottish.

VENOM (941) - Connecticut, USA - AUG 8, 2001

A decent Scottish Ale with a nice malt profile and light hop bitterness. A little on the thin side and an overall average Scottish Ale. Not bad though for a place that looks like an A-bomb went off minutes earlier.
