*Zythum (800os) was a kind of beer obtained by fermentation from barley. Cervisia was made from unmalted barley: its colour, therefore, would be pale, and in this respect would resemble ale. Ale and beer of the present day are flavoured with hops, and hence they are sometimes called hopped beer (Cervisia lupulata.)

The word fortis is applicable to certain states of the mind only; and, therefore, is inapplicable to beer.
