Light Mild

JAMIE’S NOTES

A classic Black Country “Light” Mild. Stylistically somewhere between a bitter and a more traditional dark mild.

All Ale malt grist – no darker malts. Traditionally a deeper colour would be derived from caramel added to the copper pre-boil. It’s imperative to ensure the caramel goes through the boiling and fermenting processes, in order to achieve the vinous notes that this requires. It also means the caramel no longer tastes of caramel!
