This was my first brewing experience and it really hooked me. Nothing like an American beer, a real bitter. I've given out bottles to many friends and every bottle came back with a compliment. The flavor reminded me of bitters I've enjoyed south of London but not any one in particular, the closest would be Brakspear, unusual because this ale isn't hopped with either Fuggles or Goldings.Very enjoyable brewing experience Morebeer, thanks for the new hobby!
