Some mishaps are bittersweet. Responding to a recent call for more beer, our department made an accidental recipe mix-up. But after an emergency assessment, we can report that the error resulted in a delicious Pale Ale. The British term for Pale Ale is"'Bitter" which we find more fitting for a false alarm. Bitters got their name from the use of bitter hops, but "Pale Ale" turned out to be a more marketable name in North America. Ironically a twist of history has created the modern "India Pale Ale" style, which can be far more bitter than any Bitter. False alarms are usually bitter, but this one still has a hint of sweetness...after all, at the end of the day, it's beer.
