East End Session #28 - Best Dressed Chicken

Brewed by East End Brewing Company
Style: Bitter
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA

On tap at Sharp edge, very nice malt hops balance in a dark tea color. Just the slightest hint of metallic taste at mid point. Not a great beer nor at the top of the ESB catagory

This one just did not work for me. Sampled on draft at the Sharp Edge Beer Emporium this beer poured a dark orange-amber color with a huge fluffy beige head. The aroma was faint, dry and mildly hoppy. The flavor was tangy and bitter with light floral hops and a touch of nutty malts. The finish was short. The body seemed a bit thin. Not much character to it.

From growler. Fresh grassy hops in the nose, with just a hint of malty sweet character. Toasted grain and some iced tea. Mild nose but nice hops aroma. Hazy rich amber with thin white head. Medium body with medium carbonation and light bitter finish. Starts with nice rounded malty character, light carbonic acidity, and a nice bang of grassy hops. Bitterness remains throughout but washes away quickly. Nice session bitter, balanced.

This one poured a darker amber color with a white head. Aroma was malty, grassy and a hint of fruit esters as well. Flavor was lightly fruity, some sweetness and some grassy hops in there as well. Pretty good bitter.
