English beers are known for their rich history and diverse styles. Here are some of the most popular and iconic types of real English beers:

1. Bitter: This is a classic English ale known for its balanced bitterness, malty character, and moderate alcohol content. Bitters come in various substyles such as Ordinary Bitter, Best Bitter, and Strong Bitter (or Extra Special Bitter - ESB).

2. Pale Ale: English Pale Ales are characterized by their amber to copper color and a well-balanced blend of maltiness and hop bitterness. They are often more robust and malt-forward compared to American Pale Ales.

3. India Pale Ale (IPA): Originating from England, IPAs are hop-forward beers with a higher alcohol content. English IPAs typically exhibit a more balanced hop profile compared to the intense hop focus of American IPAs.

4. Porter: English Porters are dark, rich, and full-bodied beers with roasted malt flavors of coffee, chocolate, and sometimes hints of caramel or toffee.

5. Stout: Stouts are dark, almost black beers, and they come in various substyles. English Stouts often have a smoother and less intense roasted character than their Irish or American counterparts.

6. Mild Ale: Mild Ales are malt-focused, dark beers with low alcohol content. They offer a gentle sweetness and often showcase notes of caramel and toffee.

7. Brown Ale: English Brown Ales are malt-forward, medium-bodied beers with nutty and caramel flavors, often complemented by subtle hops.

8. Golden Ale: These are light and refreshing ales with a golden color and a balanced combination of malt and hop flavors.

9. Barleywine: English Barleywines are strong, complex ales with a high alcohol content and rich malt flavors, often showcasing fruity and toffee-like notes.

10. Old Ale: Old Ales are aged beers with a complex malt profile, typically featuring dark fruit, caramel, and sherry-like characteristics.

11. Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy: While originating in Scotland, these ales are also prevalent in England. They are strong, malty beers with notes of caramel, toffee, and sometimes smokiness.

These are just some examples of the rich variety of real English beers. Each style has its unique characteristics, making the English beer landscape diverse and exciting for beer enthusiasts.
