Not bad. I find it slightly amusing that the pale Ales ain't that pale and most bitters not bitter but I realise that compared to old ales it's true. :)

Simon Tomlinson: ESB = Amber. You're mixing up the USA styles with the traditional English styles. USA copied UK & changed. A great example is IPA - ours is malt & USA is hops. And you'll need to research Brown Ale v. American Brown Ale. Completely different beers!! đđ
harri manni: Simon T. are all British IPAs really malty? I really wish it was like that. IPA is like a warning sign, nasty hops!
Simon Tomlinson: harri m. - Generally if it's an EIPA in a 500ml bottle it will be malty - that is what traditional bottles are. If it's 330/440 bottle IPA it is most likely hoppy. That is just a general rule & can be seen in supermarkets where they are in different areas

Simon Tomlinson: A less bitter Bitter? That's a Yorkshire Bitter - they are the most bitter Bitter because of their water & the way they brew beer. Very refreshing!
harri manni: Simon T. Ah! Thanks for the explanation, so it's not just me thinking it is especially bitter for a bitter? :)
Thikk!
