I would say yes, every time, but it depends on what you like in a beer. I prefer the added flavor and aroma from a dry hop, especially in a pale ale type beer.

Dry Hop that sucker. If you like hops, a little aroma makes the drinking experience that much better.

Agreed with all of the above. You are making an American Bitter and as true Americans we always overdo everything! So dry hop away!

"Dryhop the shit out of it."
