Despite its name, Belhaven Scottish Ale is not a true Scotch Ale in style, leaning more towards British-style Golden Ale or Pale Ale styles. A pleasant, biscuity maltiness from the best Scottish malts, and caramel and toffee can also be found comfortably. Challenger and goldings hops give the whole a pleasant fresh herbiness and a hint of resin. A pleasant bitterness balances the whole.
