Commercial Description:
A classic beer style to celebrate the 15th anniversary of a classic American brewery. Brewed with English maris otter and other crystal malts, this is a rich, full bodied English style Extra Special Bitter. UK Challenger and Progress hops (and love) are then used to make a well balanced and deliciously drinkable pint. Cheers!

tap-Goose Island Clybourn-RBSG-6/29/03. Aroma was very hoppy. Appearance was ruby red with a slight rocky head. Palate was full bodied and smooth. Flavor was full of earthy british hops, and a nice malt backbone. of the 3 beers i had at GI, this was the best.

Tap @ GIBC, RBSG2003. Seemed to have a bit of West-Coasty hops, but doesn't. Has some of a sweet Maris touch without the hi alch I usually associate with that malting. Graprefruit. Nice red color. No lingering head. Not as good as I had hoped.

On tap - Garnet red with almost no head or lacing, medium-bodied. Earthy, tart (grapefruit) aroma, nice. Taste hinted of pine and wood, some grainy undertones. Hoppy finish, soft and warming mouthfeel. Above average ESB.

Dark ruby red with a very light grassy aroma. Extra Special Watery (ESW) and light on all levels. Some faint grassy hops at the end preceeded by light tasting malts that do not offer much sweetness (caramel, etc).
