Mmmmm, beer. Yeah, that's all I got.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, man, now I really want a beer. I'm not sure wireless fuckistry counts as an excuse to give in less than halfway through Passover.

Heh. Contrary to the name, the bitter is actually not that bitter (well, in that hoppy IPA way). Here's the description of the beer I had today:
Bitchin’ Bitter has a warm, toasty maltiness reminiscent of English biscuits with a subtle note of sweet but dry dark caramel. The beer is hopped throughout with English Fuggles and further dryhopped with English Challenger hops. They offer a pleasant flavor of cut grass and other florals, and assist the finish of this ale with a firm, balanced dryness.
Our house ale yeast, during its warm fermentation process, was coaxed into producing some very complex fuity esters which round out this authentic British-style session beer.
Deep copper-gold in color and served unfiltered and unfined, this seemingly mild beer is quite complex despite its delicate character. This is an excellent session beer, and we sure hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

English hops are a lot more mellow than Pacific NW hops and British-style ales like bitters tend to use them for flavor as opposed to bitterness.

My cry of anguish was more for the dry-hopping, which I *know* isn't supposed to add bitterness, but always tastes....*wrong* somehow to me.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have yet to find an American-brewed beer that that tastes like an English bitter. A local brewpub waiter tried to convince me that their bitter was just like an English bitter. Not so much.
