The principal style of ale enjoyed in Britain, our version is copper colored, medium to light in body with a pleasant hop character in the finish. Named after the American Civil War battle, this is one 'bitter' experience' you will enjoy.

Bottle drank at Max’s in Baltimore Copper color, light head, lots of lacing. The nose of bright malty and citrusy hops. Nice and rich, not too much hops though. This is what an ESB should taste like. Finish is chewy, light toffee and cocoa, some coffee and a lingering garlic and anchovie taste (hmm, wonder why?)

Pours a clear golden amber with a head of dirty white. Laces well. Aromas of bready malt and dry cracker. Bitter flavors with sharp English hop notes cutting through the caramel bready malt base. Modest mouthfeel. Lingering bitterness. Quite nice.

"Poured a pretty copper color average head which laced well. Aroma was a little weak not much to pick up slight hops. Flavor was grassy hops which finished with the biter taste. Mouthfeel was thin to light. Okay"

Draft at Capitol City Brewing Inner Harbor. Ruby brown with a small tanned head. Nose is slightly hopped, toasty malts, burnt caramel, and some fruit. Taste is caramel, toasted malts, light citrus, pleasant hop bitterness, and dried dark fruits. Body is light-medium with mild carbonation feel. Finishes with more caramel notes, toasty malts, dark fruits, and flowery hops.

An amber beer with a nice lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of hops and citrus. The flavor is refreshingly hoppy, but a bit thin and the mouthfeel is a bit flat.
