This beer is the result of months of research into historical brewing techniques, focusing on England in the 16th century.

Due to the inextricable brewing link between England and the Low Countries before 1700, the beers of Haarlem, Delft, Amsterdam and other cities became interesting, too. Their impact on the English brewing scene can't be ignored.

This beer is part of an article on prototypical hopped beers of the early 16th century which will hopefully appear soon in one of the glossy brew rags.

Notes:

Use malts with darker-than-normal color to more closely approximate historical malt.

Use any relatively rough, low-alpha hops variety in one addition or as FWH.

I really, really like Wyeast Belgian Ardennes for this one, though S-04 runs a very close second.
