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.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a very large sized head of foamy finely sized mostly diminishing off-white colored bubbles that left behind an unnoted lacing. The body contained soft carbonation, was hazy and golden in color. Its aroma contained notes of mild malts and hops. Its mouth feel is initially slightly tingly and flat with a lingering finish that lacks crispmess and is too thick with heavy malts and a mild bitter aftertaste. Its flavor contained bitter malty notes. A below average brew.

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.

Draft at Appalachian BC. Large ivory fizzy head that was mostly lasting, fine-large sized bubbles, sparse lacing, minimal carbonation, transparent, and a golden hue. Aroma was malty and hoppy. Malty, bitter flavor. Tingly palate. Medium body.

Orange color. Creamy head. Light hop aroma. More of an American ESB. I prefer the brittish work on this style. Althought I have to say the quality was there compared to the Flying Fish ESB I had tried a minute earlier.

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