Style Information |
The style name "Scottish Ales" actually covers a range of similarly styled beers. Those styles are: Scottish Light 60/- Scottish Heavy 70/- Scottish Export 80/- Irish Red Ale Strong Scotch Ale These beers are cleaner and somewhat lighter on the taste, with a strong and clean malt flavor standing out. The hop characteristics of the style are low. From the BJCP web page on Scottish Ales: "All of the Scottish ales share the same description and are differentiated mainly based on gravity and alcoholic strength. The Scottish ales follow in the English tradition of having a confusing naming convention. The names are steeped in tradition and history, one thing the Scottish are famous for. To start with are the Schilling designations. These are remnants of the 1870 rating system in which the price of beer, including the taxes, was rated in the old pre-decimal shillings. 60 Shillings was a light ale; 70 Shillings was a heavy ale; 80 Shillings was an export; and 90+ Shillings was a barley-wine known as 'Wee Heavy'." |
