Olivers ESB

Brewed by Pratt Street Ale House
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Baltimore, Maryland USA

From the cask: A deep red beer with a malty topping. Silky smooth. Malty, nutty, and caramel-toned. Very good.

This one, just like the Best Bitter, served from the hand pump at cellar tempature, had a very nice soft & creamy head, very smooth, great ESB

A good beer, I Disagree with Michael Jackson on this being the Wharf Rat's best beer, I prefer the best bitter. Similar style but this is slightly hoppier.

Attractive bronze appearance with a small head. Aroma was a bit nutty and a little spicy. Smooth, bitter flavor complimented by being served at the correct temperature. Good hop presence that enhanced, but not dominate the flavor. Tasty, dry finish.

draught wharf rat @ camcen yards: pours a golden clear colour with a white foamy head. aroma is malty and sweet with a bready biscuit also some fresh fruit and honey. flavour is an excellent malt character with perfect amounts of bitter hops in the finish, tht pair well with the bread and fruit of the beer. just a fantastic finish that is dry and hop bitter. i love this style

Very similar to the Best Bitter, with a bit more in the way of hop character. Imagine a less-bitter Anderson Valley ESB dispensed by handpump. Excellent stuff, this.

Off the beer engine, this British style ESB pours with a true to style moderate head and settles with an amber color. The aroma is a little more pronounced than the best bitterand there’s no mistaking the ringwood yeast nose with some buttery diacetyl notes. Malty presence and probably a little more alcoholic in the finish than most ESB’s, but still very thirst quenching

Cask... Clear, golden ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Wonderful retention. The earthy, buttery nose carries notes of lumber and butterscotch. Fruity, malty flavor. Well-balanced by excellent bittering. Medium-bodied and velvety with soft carbonation. Astringent, resiny finish.
