British Bitter Extract Kit

O.G: 1035 / Ready: 5 weeks

A true-to-style ale, the mainstay of publicans throughout England. Don't be misled by the name; British bitters are actually well balanced beers, neither too hoppy nor too malty. This kit is low in gravity, making it a great "session" beer. For a real touch of authenticity, serve it at cellar temperature (about 55° F) in Imperial pint glasses.
