So what about this single hop Chinook beer? It was our first beer brewed, very simple, Pale and Special B malts, Chinook Hops and Nottingham ale yeast. Sounds a little bit like a best bitter? Well we aimed for 7.2% and hit 7.4%, figured about 100IBU would just about do it. So not quite a best bitter more an imperial best bitter! Or as we call it a Boring Brown Beer.

Craft Clerkenwell. Hazy dark amber beer - red - brown beer. Little pale tan head. Palate is light and slightly dry. Semi sweet malts with a mild dark character. Trace of toffee. Good red berry fruits. Mild orange - tangerine citric hop. Finishes semi dry with very mild minerals. Nice balance of darkish, malt, fruits and hops. Another fairly complex beer from this brewer.

Cask at the Earl of Essex - London. Pours lightly hazy, deep red-brown with a fine, foamy head. Some floral hops in the nose, toasted bread, pine. Medium to big sweet flavor with lots of sugary bread, sticky toasted pine, ripe orange and grapefruit, some berry preserves. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming to finish with more ripe fruits, lightly dried out berries, resinous pine, toasty grass, rich brown bread, touches of alcohol, mild dry caramel, a bit of earthy bitterness. Decent beer, but certainly not an IPA. I’d probably call it an ’amber ale’; it’s really like a jacked up ESB.
