Commercial Description:
This is a classic English Bitter. It is well balanced and has a light hop and malty aroma. The color is somewhat darker than that of pale ales, leaning more towards ruby red. Light in body and alcohol and easy to drink, this beer is one that can be consumed comfortably throughout a long evening at the pub. Owen's Ale won a Silver medal at the Real Ale Festival 2001, in Chicago, Illinois. 4.5% alcohol by volume

Labeled as their ESB, not Owens Ale. Draft. Deep amber color with a off-white head. Nice lacing is left behind. Both hops and malt in the aroma. Medium low carbonation with a rich mouthfeel. Caramel, coffee, and rich malt flavors up front. A nice hop bitterness helps round things out. Definitely a little more complexity here that with some of their other beers. A pretty good ESB and worth a try.

This beer rocks. Light Mohogany in color. The nose is floral and nutty. Nice blend of hops, malt and alcohol in the flavor. Very well balanced. Full mouthfeel. Crisp, clean finish. Great bitter.
