Commercial Description:
With a bracing, firm hop presence this classic, British 'Extra Special Bitter' features the beguiling interplay of tangy hops and the fruity overtones of our special yeast. Rich, imported British malts add depth of character. Fuller in body that an average 'session' beer, this amber ale satisfies fully. Draft only.

Golden amber with a rich aroma of caramel and bread with citrus and earthy hops. Flavor has English and American hops throughout with a satisfying finish. One of the best American ESBs hands down.

Draft Pours a good amber with a small white head. Very carbonated. Has good aroma of toffee and malts with hints of citrus hops. Has a good strong hoppiness. A very smooth drinking beer. Good aftertaste and another great beer from Victory. A couple more quality products and they may become my favorite local.

On tap at Tria, Philadelphia 17-11-08. Tasty and very decent ESB, if poured just a touch too cold. Pours classic amber with a slim white head and some busy carbonation. This beer has a lovely palate and is a damn decent ESB good nuttiness. A6 A4 F6 P4 OV14 3.4

Sampled at the brewpub. Golden pour and a caramel malt nose. Surprisingly high level of bitterness in this one. Lots of toasted, bready malts. A lingering bitterness sticks on the tongue. Just eh.

tap from the Downingtown pub. Very much like the Uncle Teddys but for some reason much colder and not as much of a creamy head. Very good Bitter! Very good session beer indeed. This may be the best "American" Bitter I have had yet. I’m very partail to the English bitters and this is very close and very good in it’s own way. A bit of fruit and hops comes through in a subtle way. Looks great and goes down great!

Draft. Pours amber with a white head. Light grainy malt aroma with light bitterness. The flavor has honey and syrup, with light hops in the finish. Pretty good.

From the tap poured a nice amber color with a fair amount of head. Nice strong hoppy flavor with a lasting aftertaste.
