Scottish and Iris Ale 5.5 º 18 IBU

7 Colores

This Scottish Light presents a malt-forward profile driven by deep caramelization and toasty breadcrumb notes. An intense ruby hue sets the stage for a sensory experience defined by layers of English biscuits and butterscotch, with a subtle, distinctive hint of peat adding complexity despite its typical absence in the style. While the sweetness of the malt and suggestions of toffee dominate the palate, the beer maintains a balanced character with very low hop presence. A delicate roasted grain influence provides a clean, dry finish, ensuring the residual sweetness never becomes cloying. The result is a smooth, malt-centric ale with brilliant clarity and creamy, tan-tinted foam.

Appearance. Intense ruby color (approx. 17-25 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features an abundant, creamy, off-white to light toast-colored head with good retention.

Aroma. Low to moderate maltiness characterized by caramel, toffee, and toasted breadcrumbs. Low esters suggesting pome fruit. A faint peat aroma is present alongside very low earthy hop notes and a hint of butterscotch.

Taste. Initial impression is malty and sweet with toasted-bready flavors and toffee overtones. Very low hop bitterness (approx. 10-20 IBU) provides just enough balance to prevent a cloying sensation. Low diacetyl may be perceived as butter or toffee. The finish is characterized by a slight roasted grain dryness that cleanses the palate.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a moderately creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Despite the 5.5% ABV being high for the style, the alcohol presence remains smooth with only a light warmth.
