No longer are mild, ales confined to the small towns of England. Once a designation for an entire class of beers, mild ale now refers to a beer style, some describe as, the "elixir of life for the salt of the earth." Mild is a beer that can be, at once light or dark, very low or very high in alcohol, and either rich in dark malt flavor or light and crisp with a touch of hop flavor and aroma. The recipes included offer a wide range of interpretations for a style that has unparalleled flexibility. The Classic Beer Style Series from Brewers Publications examines individual world-class beer styles, covering origins, history, sensory profiles, brewing techniques and commercial examples
