Commercial Description:
Toasty red in color, this is our Extra Special Bitter. It's round, rich flavor is balanced by a subtle bitterness and a fragrant hop finish. A unique blend of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases gives this beer a smoother, more flavorful palette and a creamy rich head without the strong bite associated with highly carbonated beers.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden deep amber with an orange glare with a small, thick and off-white head. Sweet caramelish and light roasted aroma. Flavour has the same with a light acidity and bitterness coming through.

~Pours a clear copper with lasting off white head. ~Strong scent of caramel malts, alcohol and hops. ~malty biscuity flavor, alcohol present. Berry like flavor as it warms up. ~Creamy feel, alcohol tingle, bitter and malty finish. ~Seems fairly strong for a bitter, Enjoyable nonetheless.

Tap at the brewpub: Deep copper with a strong lacing off white head. Sweet aroma, diacetyl (like many of their beers), and toffee. Vague. Slick texture with a sweet diacetyl flavor (surprise). What’s up with Thirsty Bear and diacetyl? Tastes like they brew with buttered popcorn.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Has a malty caramel aroma with some hoppy hints. Sweetish fruity malty caramel flavor with some hoppy hints. Has a malty fruity caramel finish.
