6.8%? that's normal for me. I drink IPAs. But I don't think there is Scotch Ale in the US, at least not where I'm from which has quite a lot of different beers.
Does it basically taste like an Ale with a touch of scotch?
Nope, no scotch taste. If you ever find some, rip one.
Do you got the Hazy IPAs where you're at? Although IPAs are nasty tasting, they sure do grow on ya after a while
