Another--wait for it--attempt at an English ale.
This is, I think, the last of the various combinations of Hopped Malt Extract that are appropriate for an English ale. (I've used Englishman's Nut Brown Ale, Bewitched Red Ale, and now West Coast Pale Ale.)
This one is combined with the Mellow Amber unhopped malt, which I liked so much in the Anglers' Rest ales. It should be okay. I threw in a half pound of my Amber DME at the last minute, to just give it a little more body.
This is supposed to be a good English "session" beer; I think it will be about the same as Anglers' Rest. Maybe I'll like it a little better, maybe a little less.
