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.

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Lightly sweet, nutty aroma. Medium body with a very soft mouthfeel and a low carbonation. Sweetish, lightly caramelish malt base with notes of nuts. The finish is dry without much bitterness. 240307

Draught at the brewpub. Clear amber, creamy head. Hay-like hop aroma. There’s plenty of sweet malt up front. The mouthfeel is pleasantly rounded. Flavourwise it’s dominated by cookie malt, before a grassy finish with good bitterness sets in. A solid ESB.

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.

Dark amber with a nicely broken head. Earthy hops, bread crust malts in the nose. Fairly sweet with light diacetyl in the background. Only hints of at the hops. The body is a bit syrupy. A few days young perhaps?
