Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) — BJCP Style Information

Category:	English Pale Ale
Number:	08C

An average-strength to moderately-strong English ale. The balance may be fairly even between malt and hops to somewhat bitter. Drinkability is a critical component of the style; emphasis is still on the bittering hop addition as opposed to the aggressive middle and late hopping seen in American ales. A rather broad style that allows for considerable interpretation by the brewer.
