Commercial Description:
Bitch Creek perfectly balances big malt sweetness and robust hop flavor for a full bodied, satisfying mahogany ale. Like the stream for which it is named, our Bitch Creek ESB is full of character... Not for the timid.

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.

Pours a clear red with a nice foamy medium beige head. Aroma is light malt with a little orange hop. Flavor is initially quite malty followed by a blast of bitter hops, the finish is long and kind of bready. Quite drinkable and a decent example of an ESB..

On tap at Boonville Beer Fest. Bitch Creek - good one. Grand Teton is not afraid to use expletives. You have to fucking respect that shit. Dark amber color with an off-white head. Caramel malt, nuts, toffee, and mild hops on the aroma. Flavor is caramel malt, black tea, toffee, with a citrusy hop finish. Medium body for the style. Pretty bitchin’ though for what it is.

Pours reddish brown with a medium sized beige head. Aroma is a soft maltiness (nuts, caramel) accompanied by orange and piney hops. Flavor of nuts and tea with a bunch of earthy, piney hops in the finish. Finish is long and bitter, with the hops being a bit brash and aggressive. Body a tad watery, lively carbonation. (12 oz. bottle)

12 oz bottle from bevmo.. Pours a very dark, chocolate brown with a guinness type mocha head.. Noticeable hops hit the nose, as toffee and pine dance apon my nose... initial hit to the palate is very smooth, less hoppy than expected but chalk full offlavorful, toffee, earthy, maltiness with a backhanded BITCH slap of medium bodied but hearty hops.. hmmm I cant say I love it, but I keep returning for another pull on my mug.. ahh, not bad..not great..

12oz bottle. Pours cloudy amber with a medium tan head. Malty aroma with caramel and hops. Hoppy flavor with a good malt balance. Very good, but something is a bit off with the flavor. Still better than I expected for a beer with such a novelty name.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear dark amber with a thick head that dissipates quickly, but leaves some lacing. Faint malt aroma, which is somewhat dissapointing. However, the flavor is pretty bold, sweet maltiness. I was hoping for more hoppiness, which was hard to find. Medium bodied. Not my favorite style, but this was still not as bad as I was orginally expecting.
