Commercial Description:
This classic English style was once the largest selling beer in the UK. Now, we bring you a tasty keg conditioned version. We age this beer to perfection and hit it with a dose of high krausen. Then the beer ages at cellar temperature until it is ready to serve. The English malt and hops we use in this Extra Special Bitter develop a perfect blend sweetness and bitterness. Its smoothness is very enjoyable.

On cask @ Camp Hill. Pours a hazy gold with a lacing white head. Initial hoppy aroma gives way to a well balanced, smooth body. Bitter finish, good session beer.

on cask-pours an off white ring for a head and amber color. Aroma is mild and thin sweet medium malt. Taste is mild and thin sweet medium malt with some English hop tannins. Minimum carbonation even with it being a cask.

On tap at Appalaichan brewpub. Good aroma; sticky honey malt. Coppery with light white head. Has a malty, sweet, yeast dough flavor. Lightl hopped. Slightly too light-bodied, but there is some good flavor, not quite in the right balance to the body.

This one was nice and hoppy but still mild and subdued at the same time. Lots of flowery hops. Another good one from ABC.

Pours with a nice head and a medium/light amber. Lightly fruity nose with light hops. Mellow maltines in the flavor with an ok bitterness and more fruitiness from the yeast. Pretty good but not great.
