It turns out that 1762 makes an excellent bitter. Fermentation character was quite clean, and the hops came through nicely. I will be brewing this one again. Ever have one of those brews that you keep going back to over and over, and you're truly sad when the keg kicks? This was one of those beers.

Note: Celeia sourced from Hop Heaven, Invert #2 was Beckers, sourced from AiH. Riverbend Southern Select sourced from Asheville Brewers Supply.
