Scottish Light 60 Ale

This is a homebrew beer I brewed one summer for a friend who loved Scottish beers. It has a slight peaty aroma and flavor, but is definitely balanced to the malt.

This isn’t really a clone, but you could compare it to similar Scottish beers like Belhaven 60 or McEwans 60. These are Scottish session beers and only available in Scotland, so if you get a Scottish ale outside of Scotland, it is probably a higher alcohol version, like maybe an 80.

Notes

Make sure you follow the extract instruction sheet or you will not get the hop bitterness you need.
