Bloody oath bitter - Ashes ale
Ale - English Best (Special) BitterAll Grain
Brewer's Notes
Brewed to celebrate the English losing the 'Ashes'. Fermented at 24.5 down to 22degC to bring out fruity ale flavours. Bottle conditioned for minimum of 1 month, very drinkable, pours a beautiful head an has lots of ale fruity/biscuity flavour, and is quite bitter. Won't be waiting for the next Ashes series to brew this one again.
