English Strong Bitter is often referred to as English Pale Ale or Extra Special Bitters. It is characterised by a firm bitterness (often falling in the range of 30 to 50 IBUs), however it should not overpower the malt. Balance is important and most examples range from balanced to moderately bitter.

It should have a moderate hoppy flavour and aroma, with a complex malt and yeast character. It is common for caramel/crystal malts to be used.

The ATF ESB has a complex malt flavour and aroma consisting of a malty biscuity base with layers of light to dark caramel flavours. In the background are delicate fruity esters provided by the yeast.

The beer has a full, almost silky mouthfeel, that finishes moderately dry.

Note on Water Profile

The recommended water profile for this beer is very soft with no more than 7ppm of any mineral.

The beer may be brewed using other water sources, but may not have the same soft delicate mouthfeel and bitterness. Rainwater, reverse osmosis water, or bottled spring water is ideal. 

Rich and complex with aromas of deep, inviting roasted dark espresso and rich cocoa, beautifully intertwined with dark caramel sweetness and hints of dried fruit underpinned by a subtle, intriguing earthy spice.

The generous use of rye and oats creates a beautifully velvety smooth and full-bodied mouthfeel with a decadently creamy yet never heavy experience, crowned by a dense, persistent head.

Clean bitterness and the faintest background whispers of soft citrus and floral notes provide just enough structure to frame the immense malt profile without ever stealing the spotlight. An indulgent stout defined by its opulent malt complexity, captivating roast character, and luxurious velvety texture.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Rudeboy (Assumed Origin: Youngs Brewery) or Mangrove Jack's Empire Ale yeast. You could also try Mangrove Jack's Liberty Bell yeast.
