Smoking Dirty Blond Ale

Smoking Dirty Blond Ale
My loving wife challenged me to come up with a beer that represented her for her birthday in November.  She is mostly English and Scottish, and a smoken' dirty blond. Using this for inspiration I devised a "Smoking Dirty Blond Ale".   Here is my first attempt bringing in the English and Scottish heritage along with some smoked malt in a blond.  I don't think I have heard of anything really like it so it at least should be interesting

Current status:
This is currently in the secondary should have been bottled Sunday according to the schedule but after lots of yard work I was exhausted.  I will be bottling tonight hopefully. It is pretty clear although I am not expecting it to fully clear due to the wheat in it.  It turned out a bit darker than I expected probably around 8 SRM but I will have a better idea when it is not in the carboy and I can get a better look at it.  I will sneak a taste while bottling and I am pretty interested to see how it turned out as it is a pretty unique beer
