Ordinary Bitter

Not all that Ordinary

Ordinary Bitter is a style under the English Pale Ale category (8A) representing a mild, light English style 'real ale.' This style was originally meant to be served with little or no carbonation from the cask.

Yellow to Light Gold in color, this beer should have a light, malty, carmel aroma mixed with a slight English hop nose. Carbonation is generally low in keeping with the 'real ale' tradition. While not an American 'megabrew' by any means, this should generally be a very light, easy-to-drink style beer.

Brewing Specs.

The ingredient are pretty straight-forward : English 2 Row, some Crystal, and a bit of roasted malt. Special Roast, Amber, or black/chocolate malt can be used instead in a very small quantity.
