Commercial Description:
We craft our ESB – or Extra Special Bitter – to be a deliciously sturdy ale that’s dead-on true to its English heritage. Full-bodied, with a classic toasty malt palate throughout, our ESB finishes fresh and hoppy. Carbonated lightly, and poured via a slow pour tap, Brown’s ESB is an outstanding example of one of Britain ’s finest gifts to civilization.

Gift from the owners nephew. Normally I am not a fan of the style. But this is an exception. Amber pour, some near white near on top. Some malts and chocolate notes. A little buttery and sweet. Not Browns best offer but very good.

on tap-pours a diminishing off whit head and amber color. Aroma is English hops, medium malt. Taste is bitter English hops-spicy, woody, medium malt-caramel, fruity. Medium body. Grainy mouth feel. Nice. OK carbonation.

Tap at HDG. Light amber colour and a thin but persistent beige head. Low aroma, sweet toffee and brown malt. Caramel a touch of toast and light chocolate. Earthy hops but with low aroma and bitterness. Sweet palate. As the beer warms, the hops pick up a bit, but it’s more light brown than ESB... I preferred the pils.

Tap at TAP NY: Pours a copper color with a thin bubbly head. Earthy hop aroma with a rolled oat character; crisp. Thin body with a subdued hop flavor. There’s not enough malt to fill out the body either. The finish is a light bitterness. This is a more aromatic than flavorful ESB. Not too great.

Tap @ brewpub: overly carbonated amber body with a hoppy aroma with caramel. Flavor is the same, finishes bitter and watery.
