Grand Teton Bitch Creek ESB

Brewed by Grand Teton Brewing Co.
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Victor, Idaho USA

Bottle. Brown body with aromas of malt and spicy hops. Flavor is a nice balance between brown sugar and biscuit and spice and bitter hops. Finish is bitter and nicely pulled off.

Bottle from trade with Sparky27. Poured brown with a light tan head that settled to a ring and left good lace. Nice aromas of caramel, nut, roasted malt, and a hop background. The flavor found nut, toffee, and a good hop backing. Medium body an a mild bitterness. Really enjoyable. Thanks Eric for my first taste of Idaho!

I pretty good ESB. Biscuits, citrus, roasted malt, caramel, floral hops. Nice flavor and well made.

This beer pours a muddy brown, it has big malty flavor. Nice aroma of biscuity toasty bread. Hop flavor is alittle one dimentional but still very good. Pretty well balanced with earthy woody hops and sweet malt. Drinkable not my favorite esb but a noble attempt with big flavors .

a real standout and surprisingly so. rich dark caramels, toffee candy without overwhelming sugar. light medium bodies. resolute quality hopping, beautiful dark but clear in the glass. Quality ingredients and superb craftsmanship. A relatively small beer that rocks.

"This is an ESB? Holy Shit! This is awsome! I think I’m going to ignore basing this review on ESB standards today and pretend I’m drinking a variation of an IPA - one that is freaking awsome. Excellent colour - very dark copper and perfectly clear and, might I say, poured to perfection leaving a large thick light brown cap and filthy glass all the way through. Skim retention that appears frozen on the top for the entire drink. You don’t have to stick your nose in the glass to find the aroma in this one: huge malt and hop content. The malts have really taken over now that I’ve let this warm, somehow restraining from slamming the enitre glass. Malts are quite toasted, notes of chocolate. The hops are grapefruit and give off that spruce or pine quality too. Odd tasting burp. Taste - immediate grapefruit hops but if you relax your brain you’ll realize the large malt backbone. It’s hard as the hops are very obvious and hard to put aside. Malts are tasty and not as spectacular as I once thought. Taste and aroma mellow quite nicely after sittin gfor a bit. I was wrong - the hops are really dominating this. Just keep smelling.....shit - where can I get this on tap??? I would be staggering within an hour and carried out an hour later after emptying all the kegs. Medium bodied if not slightly more. Medium carbonation. Solid malt middle and highly tart hops leave a nice lengthy soft and bitter end. Dammit, I need more. That was one fine brew albiet far from what I would consider an ESB. Salute!

Lightly toasty sweet aroma. Pours copper with a thin head. Flavors of earth, toffee, toasted bread, and some unpleasant aspartame like chemical shit here.

This one had a surprisingly dark amber color. Very Hoppy aroma. Not too sweet, and not too bitter, but it does have alot of hops. The dry finish is ok but the overly hoppy aroma is too much for me. I guess I’m too timid.
