| An, almost proper pint |
I've never brewed a traditional English Bitter. The more I think about it, the more I'm upset I get. It's no secrete that I love hops, but a well made English example could be rich in hop flavors and aroma. Maybe it's because a English Bitter isn't a popular style in America? Whatever the reason, I've really missed out on not brewing one because this one is fantastic.
Aroma: Hints of yeast and a breadiness that I can't pinpoint. The more I smell, the more this beer smells like beer, just good plain old fashioned beer. I feel like this is not the best quality to proclaim, but I mean this in all the best ways. I feel like I should be sitting in England drinking this.
Appearance: A golden haze that stays in suspension, topped by a small resilient head, reminiscent of a English Ale planted firmly on top of the glass. I was hoping it would clear, but without any finings this hope is quickly fading. I do really like the thin everlasting head on this beer. It really portrays an English feel to it.
