Commercial Description:
French Broad Brewery’s interpretation of the classic UK Extra Special Bitter. A bright copper color with a complex malt palate is complemented by traditional British hops, notably East Kent Golding. French Broad has made this classic public house session beer a cult classic with its skull and crossbones artwork.

Bottle. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that settled to a ring and left light lace. Nice toasted malt aroma with a light hop and fruit background. The flavor found toasted malt, pepper (?), and citrus hops. Medium body and a dry light bitter ending.

Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a small sediment floating around with a bubbly off-white head. The aroma has notes of dusty hops, malt, fruit, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, bread, citrus, caramel, dust, and malt, leading to an orangey finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Cloudy deep blond color; big head. A yeasty Ale, it reminds me more a poor French Ale than any ESB. Ordinary bitterness. Quite bad.

Hmmm... opened it and it just started gushing out of the bottle. Enormous tan head. Murky appearance. Could be infected. Malty, a bit sour. It’s not very good. I don’t think it’s infected since I homebrew and I KNOW what a messed up brew tastes like. Another reviewer said it could be wild yeast, that’s what it tastes like. A bit of that farmhouse ale type yeastiness.
