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.

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.

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.

Not a bad beer but a little lighter in body than I remember most ESB’s. The flavor was good but seemed to be less robust than the English versions. Better to call this an American ESB.

Draught. At the Penn Brew fest 6-4-05. I really liked this one. Dark amber and with a nice malty, hoppy nose. Some caramel flavors with a good solid hop bite. I loved the balance of this and it was perfectly carbonated. The folks from the brewery were good sports and kept the beers flowing as well. I liked this one a lot.

On cast at the Drafting Room in Springfield, PA. Poured a medium aber color with an averaged sized off white head. Light floral aroma with caramel. Sweet caramel tasting with light hops.

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.
