Newcastle Founder's Ale

Not technically a Scottish Ale, but made in Scotland nonetheless (this makes sense only when you view "Scottish Ale" as a style, rather than a point of origination). Consumed from a Sam Adams flute, a deep orange with a tall head that slowly recedes to about 3 fingers. A subtle crackery aroma, with a tinge of orange peel and some spice, almost like Constant Comment tea. A little weaker than a lot of other U.K. beers, but still tasty.  They call it a Pale Ale, but more like a light lager.
