COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A more traditionally English interpretation of the style than its Big Time cousins, brewed with Maris Otter pale and crystal malts for a rich, round malt flavor accentuated by a touch of dark malt complexity, and balanced by the herbal, grassy and earthy hop character from the late kettle additions of Fuggles and Kent Goldings. A beautiful and satisfying session beer. 25 IBUs

BillKismet (2753) - Seattle, USA - DEC 4, 2007
Brown barrel appearance with a filmy head that looks ages old. Britt style ESB, with Britt smelling hops (Fuggles/Goldings) and the accompanying mustiness. Easy hop flavor sits atop a mild malt presence. Slightly bitter hop finish. Quaffable, and fairly true to the Britt ESB style.

OldMrCrow (1420) - Seattle, Washington, USA - JAN 28, 2008
Tap at the brewery.

Pours clear amber-brown with a nice off-white head. Nutty, toasty aroma, some grassy hops around the edges, nothing powerful. Clean drinking, gently sweet, toasty, mild clean hop finish. Not exceptional but perfectly drinkable and in some ways an enjoyable change from all the left-coast IPAs on tap at the same place.

Beershine (4712) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - JAN 14, 2008
Perfectly amber color with small white head and little cirrus cloud patterns going on in the top. Leaves consistent lace too. Aroma is fresh pure grain as if it were just squeezed through cheesecloth. A little bit thin and slimy palate. Tastes somewhat bland, muddled and not as hoppy as I’d like it.

CapFlu (3798) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 7, 2007
(Draught) Sampled at Big Time Brewpub in Seattle on March 2, 2007. Thin, white dissipating head with clear deep orange body. Nose of caramel malt. Mildly hoppy, milky tones. Lasting bitterness.

beaconstreet (811) - Washington DC, USA - AUG 27, 2005
Incredible, wonderful. A masterpiece of brewing. Not firey at all. Delicioso. Drink and be merry.

Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 13, 2005
Hazy golden-copper hue. Woody, foresty hop aroma. The flavour is sweet, with toasty malts and a hint of earthy bitterness. Rounded flavours, and an exceptional malt kiss in the finish.
