COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Uncle Jesse’s personal favorite. This big beer is available year-round. The ESB is a rich, copper-colored ale with a balanced flavor profile featuring toasted malts, fresh hops and a pleasant finishing sweetness.

(tap) deep copper with small tan head. Caramel and earthy hops aroma. Very hoppy for an ESB but nice, with plenty of malt and body for balance.

Bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, earthiness and light herbal notes. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, toffee and light grassiness with a smooth lingering carmel finish.

Pawola22 (3090) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - NOV 13, 2012
On tap at Brewski’s in Fayetteville, AR. Pours a clear, copper colored body with a finger-width, creamy, beige head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is lightly sweetened caramel and toffee with a good amount of orange citrus herbal hops. Hints of bread, touches of grass, and a very light toast. Flavor is similar. More hopped than most ESBs with a good amount of orange herbal citruses giving off a few resins. Lightly sweetened crystal and caramel malts with touches of toffee bread. Finishes fairly bitter and dry with a light sweetness and a good amount of citruses. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, an ESB with a bit more hops and bitterness than most, but pretty tasty and balanced with a light malt sweetness. Not bad.

My favorite bitter! Great mouth feel, perfect hops balance with deep flavor.

(Draught) Pours a clear amber body with a medium white head. Aroma of herbs, grass, citrus, caramel, and biscuit. Flavor of grass, herbal, biscuit, and caramel with a somewhat dry, moderately bitter finish.
