Commercial Description:
Our award winning 8th Street Ale is based on an English-style "Best Bitter" which is the most common ale served in British pubs. What makes 8th Street Ale uncommon is its mellow bitterness and its slightly sweet malt flavor. It's aroma is derived from rare, imported Kentish hops, and lots of them.

Draught at the brewpub
Deep blond color. The aroma is light, with piney resins. Dry mouthfeel, quite weak, with some dry toffee flavor and strong bitterness, only partial quality of the hops (piney resins). Simple.

Light amber body, medium head with nice lacing. Aroma is mildly bitter and malty. Not too assertive flavor, but there's some good medium bitterness in the back half.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with cbkschubert (thanks!). Poured a medium and see through orange color with a very large sized off white head. Aromas of floral, citrus, and spicy. Tastes of floral, citrus, caramel, and a spicy finish. Nice spicy and lightly bitter finish. This one grew on me more as I drank the bottle.

Bottle thanks to cbkschubert: Pours a transparent bright copper bronze with a large, over-carbonated, pillowy airy, clingy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of slightly soapy floral English hops with a touch of toasty pale malt. Body starts semi-sweet and with some toasty pale British malt balanced with a mild earthy piny hop character toward a thinner, but smooth finish. A pretty decent ESB.

Bottle courtesy of rustychiles. Pours copper with a nice white head. Smells of citrus, hay, some malt. Tastes lightly bitter and resiny with some sweet malty hints. Enjoyable.
