English Bitter

In the mid-1800s English Bitter was synonymous with the English Pale Ale, but by the mid-20th century English Bitter was used mainly for cask beers.

Ranging in color from gold to copper, the English Bitter is brewed with pale malt and more hops than the Pale Ale, giving it a light body and moderate to assertive hop flavor and bitterness. Hops can be floral to herbal, along with a fruityness in the aroma. Generally low ABV.

Best served cool, around 46-54 degrees, in a beer mug or pint glass.
