Bone Idle Bitter

Holden's Black Country Bitter won Silver in the Bitter category in 2005 and is described as "A medium-bodied, golden ale; a light, well-balanced bitter with a subtle, dry, hoppy finish." The data I have for this beer is: OG: 1.039. Malt bill: 85–95% Maris Otter pale malt, 0–10% crystal malt, 0–5% torrefied wheat, 0–2% brewing sugar. Hops: Fuggles, optional Goldings. Dry hops: Fuggles. EBC: 24–26.

Denny has been working on a recipe for an American mild ale for several years. The objective was to make a beer with the qualities of a British mild (malt character, low integrated hop flavor, body, 1.035 OG, under 4% alcohol) but with only American ingredients.
