Aroma – A decent use of amber malts with a light nose of hops.
Appearance – Amber in color, hazy, with a thin head.
Flavor – This was a very bland bitter ESB. Had some decent use of malts the hops where way to hoppy and not enough for the bittering.
Palate – OK Mouthfeel, decent texture with a dry finish.
Overall – It was a nice beer good for the regulars but this was far from a ESB. Needed more bittering hops and a silky smooth finish.
