English Pale Ale Recipe

A nice pale ale is always appreciated.  What I like about Pale Ale’s is that they are so easy to drink, and most of the time even non-craft beer brewers still like them. This one features some aromatic malt and it really adds a well balanced flavor to the beer.  The crystal malt is of course going to give it some sweetness as well as color.  The hop profile is well balanced giving you a bitter flavor, and aroma.  All around it’s a well balanced beer.
