Commercial Description:
This beer holds true to the English style ESB with a semi sweet malty beginning and a good mildly bitter finish.

Bottle pours a fairly cloudy amber, large foamy off-white head that leaves behind sticky lacing, with low carbonation.   Slightly malty nose, sweet, but I am getting a strange PB&J like aroma.   Bready, yet with preserves as well.   A brisk smokey bitterness up front, very fleating, with burnt malts to follow.   The taste flows back into a mild bitterness and a slightly sour over-ripened grapefruit like flavor.   While it doesn’t sound all that interesting, its not bad.   Medium bodied with a fairly average mouthfeel.   Interesting... this actually kinda reminds me of a "small" beer.
