Commercial Description:
In contrast to the dry hoppy flavor profile typical of many Fish Tales Ales, a rich maltyness is the predominant character of 50 Fathoms ESB. Medium bodied and light amber-colored, this ale is brewed with Pale, Crystal, Carastan and Munich specialty malts.

I tend to like malty beers, so this one was right down my alley. .Tried while on a business trip to Olympia. I got to try 3-4 beers and their perry, but would like to sample a few more.

Draft at the brewpub. Slightly hazy burnished medium copper with slim tan rim. Very mild toasty nose. Medium body, carb’s almost lively. Toast, biscuit, and a little bit of herbal resin on the mid-palate. Brief toasty finish.

on tap-pours an off white head and amber color. Aroma is mild medium malt. Taste is mild medium malt-caramel, secondary hops with some bite. Kind of light body.

On tap at the Fishbowl Pub. Medium-dark clear amber color. Nice head gives off a very pleasant sweet, grass nose. I love the malt profile, but this might have benefited from just a skosh more hops. I thought it had been a while since I’d last seen 50 Fathoms, and I guess I was right. A pleasure to sample it again.

Bright amber. Aroma is caramelly, earthy, grassy, slightly toasty. Buttery, footy taste leads to a pleasing hop signature. I can see where they’re trying to go with this big English yeast character but it’s not a place I want to go.
