COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our ESB2 is made with pale and light crystal malts. This is going to give the beer a deep pale color and malty flavor. It will also give it a very strong taste. It is hopped liberally with Apollo and Willamette hops. This will give the beer a pleasant bitter taste and an intense hop flavor and aroma. The extra bitterness will mix with the strong sweet flavor from the malt to give the beer a very balanced taste. The result is a very bold and flavorful ESB.

Red-brown ale with small head - good, medium carbonation. Floral (hops), bread, earthy, spices in aroma. A strong taste indeed, with the hops playing in the foreground. Could use a bit of extra sweetness. Bitter aftertaste - lots of flavour in here. Nice strong bitter. ($4 from tab at The Top, Gainesville)
