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.

Dickinsonbeer (5077) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - JUN 27, 2007
RBSG 07 tap at brewpub. Pours a nice medium amber with a fluffy lasting off white head. Aroma is lightly sweet caramel malts, and good english floral hops but doenst get into the tannic tea-like quality- stays flowery and lightly sweet. Herbal and floral hop sin the flavor- hints of toffeeand nuts, caramel malts and a good clean bitterness. Solid ESB as expected.

BDR (2535) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - JUN 17, 2007
On tap a the brewpub. Dark brown body with creamy white head. Smooth creamy body with a malt and citrus flavors. Faint bitterness in the body - I was hoping for more bite.

tytoanderso (1476) - SLP, Minnesota, USA - JUN 14, 2007
Tap at the brewpub. Pours a nice amber with a decent sized white head. A tad more bitterness on the nose and palate that the Little Barley Bitter. Decent amount of citrusy hops make up for a slightly watery finish. Again... quite drinkable and it’s got a fair amount of flavor.

hellomynameis (867) - Mayer, Minnesota, USA - JUN 14, 2007
Dark amber/orange colour with a medium thick head. Good fresh hoppy aroma with some malt. Citrus and pine hops flavours with a good tasty and bisucty malt back. Good quaffable mouthfeel.
