I haven't brewed this one yet but it was given to me by one of the main contributor on www.brewingkb.com in a post about American pale ale, English pale ale, and Belgium pale ale. I am looking forward to getting this one brewed. My first attempt at a bitter was a little off target.
Brewed this one and it was in primary for 2 weeks. On Dec 30th kegged it. F.G. was 1.020. Sadly, it was sitting on the table out back and even though it was cloudly, the 10 minutes of sunshine skunked this brew. If you look past the skunky, its pretty darn good. Slightly malty, good strong bitterness. Sadly, the skunky detracts from this brew. Even though its mostly in the aroma, its enough to make me want to drink something else. I will be brewing this one again.
OG. 1.056
FG. 1.012 Kegged
