Full Sail ESB (Extra Special Barney)

On Tap at Full Sail Brewery, Hood River. Pours out a amber topped with a off white head. Aroma of sweet malts. Tast more of the sweetness along with a little wood. A nice ESB.

On draft at the Full Sail Brewery in Hood River, OR. Nice 4 oz sample. Very good ESB from Full Sail. Nice dark copper with a nice head. Hoppy and maybe a hint of caramel.

Tap room in Hood River - Lots of fruit in the nose, with some vegetal notes in the background. Grassy hops that turns slightly herbal. Pours a golden amber with some fluffy white lacing topping the glass. Flowery malt background, doughy with some honey sweetness. This is a fabulously well done beer.

On tap at Full Sail in Hood River, OR--Poured an orange-amber body with a white medium-sized head. Well balanced and very hoppy. Nice example of style Yum!

Poured from tap at brewery. Orange/amber color and white head. Aroma is malty and fruity - apple. Flavor is the same with some hops coming through with a reasonable amount of bitterness. It is a well balanced english style ESB with more alcohol. Very good and very drinkable.

On tap at the brewery. Took home a growler. Copper-amber with an average white head. Big blast of hop bitterness with a major amount of malt power. Nothing like a classic ESB, nonetheless a tasty treat. I’m not even through the first pint and can already feel the impact. If I had to try and categorize this beer, something like an Imperial ESB.

Pours clear dark copper, with an off-white head that descends to a lacy ring of foam. Sweet, malty nose with brown sugar and fruit. Sweet medium body, with the taste of nuts, brown sugar, figs, citrus. This beer is heavy on the "Exra Special" but low on the "Bitter" and low on the earthy, dry, woody finish that I have come to expect in an ESB.
