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.

01.29.05 12oz bottle. Amber-brown pour; large, fading head. Looks like it should, I think. Aromas are biscuity, light grassiness, fresh bread; flavors incorporate these plus a big dose of caramel. Decent beer that doesn’t get boring, yet not too thrilling either.

Pretty good. I liked the bitterness of this beer. It reminded me of Sierra Nevada a little bit. Not bad at all.

A standard ESB. Good but not great. Love the fact that it is Jersey tho. Decent flavor, but nothing remarkable.

This is a good esb - smooth creamy body full of caramel biscuity malts, herba/fruity aromas, good assertive hop edges and finish. Another solid beer from Flying Fish.

Bottle - thanks to slob. Pours clear copper with a creamy light tan head that lingers well and leaves nice lacing. Malty aroma, slightly fruity with light floral hoppiness. Bold malty flavor has nice tart notes and a brisk hop finish. Medium body, gentle carbonation. This could be a good session ale.

Poured a medium golden color with a small white head. Aromas and tastes of some malts and orange citrus. Smooth body. Drinkable (but nothing that really stands out).

A little on the light side, some malt giving way to slight bitterness. This is not bad as a beer, but its only fair as an ESB
