Traditional English Ale

Traditional English ale refers to a type of beer that has been brewed in England for centuries, characterized by its use of top-fermenting yeast. These ales often exhibit a rich, malty flavor with a balance of hops, resulting in a moderate bitterness. Common styles include Bitters, Milds, and Porters. They are typically served at slightly warmer temperatures than lagers and often have lower carbonation. Traditional English ales emphasize traditional brewing methods and local ingredients, reflecting regional tastes and brewing heritage, making them distinct within the broader category of ales globally.
