COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This Bitter's "Extra Special" comes in the form of toasted malt - just a touch to enhance the biscuit tones in the malt. Light to moderate hop profile and a touch of sweetness to balance, this pale/orange British ESB lands right between our Bitter and IPA for an enjoyable refreshing ale.

fata2683 (2066) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - JUN 18, 2011
on tap at the brewery pours light amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is toasted malts, very bready. Flavor is fairly light nuts and toasted gain with a nice noble hop bite in the finish. Very clean and drinkable.

portableparty (1007) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - MAY 25, 2011
Tap at Barley Johns. Pour is amber orange with kahki off white head that is sticky. Aroma is citrus and malt with grass as well. Taste is smooth and subtle bitterness with a smooth malty bitter finish. Palate is thin to medium mouthfeel and finishes chaulky. Another solid drinker!

CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - NOV 18, 2007
On tap at the brewpub on 6/23/07: Pours an effervescent bright copper with a nicely-lacing web of white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty caramel malt with some faint English hops. Body starts with a nice light caramel malty sweetness and good lightly piny flavoring and bitter hops toward a crisp, balanced finish. A good ESB.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - OCT 4, 2007
Draft @ Brewpub: Copper color, ruby, nice white head and great lacing. Nose of bright caramel and a sweet chewy mouthfeel. Balanced in every way, so it’s a nice drinker, but just doesn’t really explode anything out at you.

decaturstevo (3387) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - AUG 1, 2007
On tap at RBSG 07. An amber pour with an aroma of malt and light hops. A light malt flavor with a good hop bitter that grows on the back of your tongue. Slightly thin but good solid smooth mouthfeel. A good ESB.

kreepindeth (405) - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA - JUL 11, 2007
Pours a nutty amber color. Aroma of some earth and lemony hops. Pleasing malty biscuity mouthfeel with a very dry finish. Enjoyable, but nothing special.
