Bitter Revisited.

I finally got myself a proper pint glass instead of the jelly jars. I have been tasting and had some friends tasting this beer. I have gotten some pretty good reactions to it. One person said it could use a little more body which I do agree with and can easily do the next time around. Others said they liked the hopping and found it like an IPA with the volume turned down. I can see that as well.
I think the next time I make a bitter I will change two things. The first is that I will use darker crystal malts to obtain to color as opposed to roasted barley. There is really only a touch of that in this beer but I feel like I get a little of the roastyness in the taste and I don't feel as though that should be there. This will also contribute more body.
Second, I will add more hops later in the boil. I feel like it could use a bit more hop aroma and flavor, while the over all bitterness is fine.
I am really enjoying this beer and it is disappearing all too quickly.
I have also updated the pages for my sour mash experiment(bottled) and second Saison(moved to secondary fermentation).
