SC - Chequer Ale question

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to the list,

I just got this message today. I am not that familar with ales and
beers. I was wondering if one of you could answer his question. Please
email him directly at: euphonic at flash.net since he is not on this list.

Thanks,
   Stefan
