Downtown Grill White Mule ESB

sample at Downtown Grill, Knoxville, TN. pours golden, white head. aroma and taste, flrao hops, bitter finish with hints of peach, ends with some citrus note, borderline acidic.

Stopped in after the Xmas Eve^3 at tronraner’s. Pours a clear light amber with a sustainable white head. Nose is light and fruity hops. Flavor is buttery and resiny floral hop bitterness. A little sticky and cloying on the tongue.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear gold color with a one finger white head. The aroma was bready, with a hint of citrus and maybe some spice notes. The flavor was sweet malt with an earthy finish. This beer didn’t piece together well for me.

Darkish yellow with a lasting finger of whitish head that leaves nice clumpy lacing, some spicy hops and toasty malt but overall a faint aroma. Taste is sweet then grassy and peppery hops kick in and last.

on tap-pours a thin retaining white head and gold color. Aroma is mild sweet citrus then some English hops. Taste is sweet citrus then some English/earthy hops, secondary medium malt. Mild carbonation.

This beer begins lightly and sweetly, but quickly bites and finishes with its lingering hops aftertaste.
