Marris Tater

Specifics

Style:

Standard/Ordinary Bitter — BJCP Style Information

Category:	English Pale Ale
Number:	08A

Low gravity, low alcohol levels and low carbonation make this an easy-drinking beer. Some examples can be more malt balanced, but this should not override the overall bitter impression. Drinkability is a critical component of the style; emphasis is still on the bittering hop addition as opposed to the aggressive middle and late hopping seen in American ales.

Commercial Examples: Fuller's Chiswick Bitter, Adnams Bitter, Young's Bitter, Greene King IPA, Oakham Jeffrey Hudson Bitter (JHB), Brain's Bitter, Tetley's Original Bitter, Brakspear Bitter, Boddington's Pub Draught.
