Notes
For a versatile house pale ale, Mangrove Jack's M36 Liberty Bell is a balanced pick. It suits English and American pales, ESB and golden ales, flocculating well and leaving a clean base that lets malt and hops show.
It is deliberately middle-of-the-road: neither strong yeast character nor a bone-dry finish. Reach for a cleaner American strain if you want the hops to fully dominate.
