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.

Tap. Amber, long lasting head. Smells like a homebrew store - I kid you not. Interesting. A little dry, not too bad, but average like most of the beers here.

Draft. Copper color with a smooth white head. Light bodies beer with caramel aroma and caramel malt flavor. Just a bit of spice to it, but not much.

This beer is amber in color. The smell is of malt predominately. The taste is more malty than hoppy. Has an odd, not so pleasant aftertaste.
