The hops and fermentation process give real ale a bitter taste, as opposed to lagers which do not. Therefore, it was nicknamed 'bitter' to distinguish it from lager.

I think the word "flood" sounds just what it means - you can just picture the flow of water when you say "flood". Close your eyes and say it slowly. FLOOD FLOOD
