Commercial Description:
The first beer in the Brewer's Share Aeries is "Extra Special Barney" (ESB) and was developed by our lead brewer, Barney Brennan. According to Barney, his ESB was inspired by two things; a perfect beer moment and the aromatic highlight of the 2007 hop selection in Yakima, a US Challenger hop. As Barney puts it, "I was sitting on the deck at the brewery overlooking the river in the sunshine - drinking a perfectly balanced bitter - already looking forward to the second pint. It was one of those great beer moments. Hopefully, my ESB will make one of those moments for someone else with its five different specialty malts and this one very special hop. We made it entirely with US Challenger hops including a pound per barrel dry hop because we wanted to share the aromatic experience we had at the Hop Rub in Yakima with our customers."

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.

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.
