3 of 5

Tasted it side by side with bottled OSH. Flavor of OSH is much stronger than this recipe. Although the ABV is about right, the intensity of flavor is much less - tastes more like an ordinary bitter than a strong bitter. Perhaps reduce or replace the corn sugar with more malt extract? Its a nice, light (in terms of flavor) bitter, but ABV is too high to be an authentic ordinary bitter, and flavor is too light to be an OSH clone.
