Had a pint of the 3% golden ale. It's nice and hoppy.
Is the Scottish ale on yet?
So why do no "Scottish Ales" brewed in Scotland have any peated malt in them?? h34r:
A lot of people get an earthy/smokeyness from Scottish Ales (the ones brewed in Scotland) that's got to do with the water, malt, and yeast. I think it was the Americans who thought "hey, why not put some peated malt in there to make it more complex/different?" There is a lot of debate out there whether to use peat malt or not. If you want to make it true to style, then I would say no. If you want to make something different, like a Bock with Elderflower, then I would ask why not?
