Let's Brew Wednesday - 1883 Truman (Burton) No. 7 Ale

Another of these numbered Ale thingies. They loved numbering their Ales in Burton. Bass did it. So did Evershed, and I'm sure many others.

Next up the strength hierarchy, logically enough, is No. 7 Ale. Still, lots of numbers to go before the end of this set.

And we’re already up at over 6% ABV. You can probably guess what sort of strength the low numbers are. Though we’re still in the Mild Ale region of Burton Ales. Finding this confusing? You should. Because I don’t have it totally clear in my head. What are some of the middle-numbered Ales.

Not much to discuss about the recipe this time. You can look above at No. 8 Ale for that. As it was parti-gyled with this beer.
