'Ellesmere' English Amber Ale

5. 2% ABV / 30 IBU Our take on a classic English strong bitter.

ABV: 5.2%
Style: Amber Ale
Family: amber-brown

§ How it tastes

The malty cousin of the pale ale: same shape, but the caramel does the talking instead of the hops. Nutty, slightly sweet, and never sharp. If IPAs taste too green and aggressive to you, this is where the tap list gets friendly again — and it is where English bitters and brown ales live too.

That's the style. This beer is one brewery's take on it.
