    What style is this beer? Can't find anything on it.

    Scottish ale made with willamette hops. Fairly malty and sweet with lite herbal hop notes. 8% ABV. I've read on HBT that the HotD house yeast is a scottish ale strain so it only makes sense that Alan would brew this style.

    Very cool! I realized I should check the HotD website and bingo...there sat "Will." I'll definitely try it next time I'm down there! Thanks for the info.

    Old habits (of not checking the HotD website) die hard.

    You aren't going to miss the old gray and white T-shirt background and the greeting from 2004?

    I believe the correct terminology is "heather grey". :slight_smile:

    Agree with your score. Fits the style guidelines and enjoyable. Not as distinctive and memorable as Lila though.
