Redfish Old School ESB

Formerly brewed at Redfish New Orleans Brewhouse
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Boulder, Colorado USA

Beer pours golden yellow with a mostly dissipating egg white head. Flavor was hoppy and grainy with a bit of depth. I a not as excited about this as some have been.

tap. something about this i just did not like. pours golden light brown. light malt hints in the aroma with a grainy nose dominating. ctaste was sweeter than expected, very grainy up front with a finishing bitter. mild overall bitterness, but the dominant rough grain and rubber taste turned me off.

Draft: Clear, rich amber in color with a nice and lasting head. Tasty malt flavors, yeasty, and a little nutty. Nice and rich hops to boot, with mild hints of earth and grass. Healthy bitterness. Overall, really balanced, drinkable and flavorful. I had two or three in a row and would've easily had another ... and another.

The best ESB in Colorado. Fresh, bitter, malty, and clean. Definately worth a pint if you are in the area.

Draught. Body is medium amber. Aroma is moderately malty (cookie, toasted bread), moderately hoppy (flowers, orange). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, heavily bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. New brewer, new recipe. And hey, folks, Chris got this shit right...definitely English hops in the nose, probably Fuggles, and nice malt texture. Aggressively bitter, but enough malt to keep me wanting another sip...a perfect quaffer. Well done ESB at last from Redfish!
