Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) • Extract • 18.93 L
Yet to try this myself (time constraints) but as a real ale drinker I tend to go for the 4.5 to 5.5 beers as they are generally not so bitter. I also enjoy many of the honey and some of the flower or fruit flavoured ales that many micro-brewers are coming up with these days. I will give this recipe a go as soon as the domestic authorities allow,but if someone does it first let me know your thoughts. Happy slurping. Merlin
