English Bitter

English Bitter is a traditional style of beer originating from England, known for its balanced flavors and moderate alcohol content. It typically has a golden to amber color and features a noticeable hop bitterness, which is often complemented by a malty sweetness. Bitters are generally served cask-conditioned, meaning they are naturally carbonated and served at a slightly warmer temperature than most beers. This style can range from light to strong, with variations like Best Bitter and Extra Special Bitter (ESB), each offering distinctive tastes while maintaining the characteristic balance of hops and malt.
