English Strong Ale

MAKES APPROX. 2 GALLONS OF BEER IN ABOUT 4 WEEKS TIME.
Suggested minimum conditioning time is 2 to 4 weeks.

English Strong Ales offer a little bit for everyone. When young, they display great balance between rich malt and noticeable hop character. As they mature, that hop intensity gives way to malt complexity and rich, yeast-derived fruitiness. These are potent brews, but not obnoxiously strong.

Mr.Beer’s interpretation of this timeless classic holds true to style. It is made from Pale two-row malt, blended with a healthy portion of crystal and a touch of brown malt for depth of character. Classic English hops -- Goldings and Fuggles -- provide earthy, floral character. It is deep amber in color, hinting at the richness contained within. Enjoy at a slow and steady pace…you’ll be amazed at how this brew changes over time.
