EN LAS PRIMERAS CERVEZAS ESCOCESAS LA MALTA ERA PREDOMINANTE, YA QUE SE UTILIZABAN HIERBAS Y ESPECIAS EN LUGAR LÚPULO. LA SCOTTISH ALE DE HOY SE DISFRUTA CON UN AMARGOR INTERMEDIO Y SABOR A MALTAS TOSTADAS, ASÍ COMO NOTAS DE NUECES Y CARAMELO.IN THE FIRST SCOTTISH BEERS, MALT WAS PREDOMINANT, AS HERBS AND SPICES WERE USED INSTEAD OF HOPS. TODAY'S SCOTTISH ALE IS ENJOYED WITH MODERATE BITTERNESS AND A TOASTED MALT FLAVOR, AS WELL AS NOTES OF NUTS AND CARAMEL THAT GIVE IT A MEDIUM BODY.
