COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This ESB is a classic British extra special bitter made fresh with an American slant. A beautiful copper color with an amber head, classic style features six different malts, including imported Belgian malts, and three hop varieties. The rich malty start features caramel notes that develop into a smooth, pleasurable hop finish.

A lively copper colored pour. Head is small and white....no lacing. Aroma has hints of citrus. Front end is malty and back end has hints of fruit and wood. All in all, a nice session beer but nothing to write home about.

notalush (3617) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAY 21, 2005
Clear copper with moderate lacing - woody aroma with a hint of bitterness - pretty average flavor, nothing special - actually, it kind of tastes like a so-so homebrewed ESB - nothing worth having more than once.

muzzlehatch (4425) - Burlington, Vermont, USA - APR 28, 2005
12 oz bottle. Clear burnished copper with a small lasting off-white creamy meringue...cherry-almond with wood and lime in the nose...smooth, creamy, moderately sweet body, a bitt watery...not much to comment on flavor-wise, some woody bitterness but overall its just pretty average...

On tap. Copper/amber color, with aromas of malt, fruit. Flavor is hops, malt, and some fruit. Another nice Flying Fish brew.

bourne (161) - Suwon, SOUTH KOREA - MAR 27, 2005
Deep copper color. Slightly hoppy with classic bitterness an ESB should have. Palate is very smooth. Very drinkable, perhaps weak.

swirl (267) - collingswood, New Jersey, USA - MAR 25, 2005
This is another delicious beer. It has a very agreeable crispness. Very light in color but full in taste. Though the Extra Pale Ale is their signature beer this one definately offers more enjoyment.

Arayaga2 (1435) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 12, 2005
Nice head, standard beer color with effervescently tart berry notes immediately followed by afterhoppiness. Decent enough product, particularly from a cask.

Draft at Silk City. Well made beer, just not much character and unmemorable. Given the choice, stick with Yards ESA.
