Ok, so I just started to drink a batch that I brewed and it has a taste more like an American Pale Ale than an English bitter. I was wondering (based on the recipe) what you long time brewers though this was. Is it an (Americanized) English Bitter or is it an American Pale Ale?
3 gallon boil
4 lbs. Light DME
1 lb Rice Syrup Solids
1 1/4 oz. American Saaz (boil 60 mins)
1 oz. U.K. Kent Goldings (boil 10 mins)
One week in the primary, one week in the secondary, bottled with 5 oz. of corn sugar. Aged in bottles three weeks. (It is still a little flat, there is some head but not good retention and no carbonation in the beer itself. I still have yet to try one cold.)
APA or Bitter? Ideas?
