Lakefront Organic ESB

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Brownish amber color with a thin, clingy off white head. Light caramel aroma. Bitter and slightly sweet, grainy flavor combined with a rich malty body. No lack of flavor due to the organic ingredients.

Clear amber with a tight head. Mild malty sweet caramel aroma. Medium body. Decent flavor is sweet toffee malt with a lightly bitter hop bite to finish. Nice enough.

Bottle. Poured a medium murky brown body with thin head. aroma is faint- grainy. Flavor is light bitterness, light hops and a sweet mouthfeel.

Bottled. Pours a cloudy amber-copper colour with a good amount of carbonation. Aroma is all malt plus a little dusty earth. Flavour is caramel malt plus some roasted notes. Good, nothing great.

Bottle. Pours a light amber with light cola like body. Aroma is carmel malts with some odd out of place sourness. Taste was tart & sour with some onderlying caramelsweet malts. Not sure if this bottle went bad but down the drain it went after a sip or two

Decent, straightforward take on the style. I found this to be very pleasant and easy to drink. Pours a clear burnt auburn coloring, with a small but sticky tan head. Looks like a glass of iced tea. Earthy floral aroma, with a semi sweet caramel maltiness, toasted toffee and a bit of light fruitiness that lingers well into the finish. I must have had a fresh bottle, this tasted really nice to me compared to the other ratings.

12 oz beer. Porus a medium amber clear, lgiht carb, and a thin lasting head. Aroma is pretty weak- light caramel, some dusty toasted malts, stale lightly orange metallic hops. Stale toasted and crystal malts, cardboardy, with a slight earthyl pine sol and orange cleaner slick feel in the mouthfeel. Dry earthy finish. Tastes old, but was only bottled a couple months ago. What gives?
