Anything But Ordinary Bitter - 5 Gallon Extract Homebrew Recipe Beer Kit

Description

English pale ales are usually called “bitter” but they tend to be much less bitter than their American counterparts. The English pale ales have names like ordinary, special, and extra special (or strong) bitters, and the names refer to the starting gravity and alcohol content more than being “special” in ingredients. The styles do vary in the amount of hops and flavors, and that makes them so much fun to drink and explore. Our ordinary bitter isn't ordinary at all, nor is it very bitter. Full of flavor, but low in alcohol at under 4%, it's the first “session beer” many people reach for. With firm hop bitterness so the beer is not too sweet, balanced malt flavor with a smidgeon of biscuit, and a touch of character from an English yeast, this beer is anything but boring. Try our extraordinary ordinary bitter today!
