1. Maris vs. pale
My most successful ales have had maris as a base, certainly the english ales, and even APAs. It's a correlation - I can't specifically identify the maris 'flavour' in amongst the other ingredients. I don't have time for a side by side... I read a comment that MO gives a slightly sweeter profile and can 'soak up the hop flavour'. (?)
So I'm wondering if anyone can point to specific beers where they would choose a standard pale, like JW pale, ahead of a maris otter? I'm looking for insights into why I should keep both and choose one for specific outcomes.
2. Maris vs. golden promise
I've never tried golden promise - similar question. Differences between maris and golden promise? When would you use one over the other, and why?
