Commercial Description:
IBU 38 ABV 5.3% A traditional extra special bitter (ESB), this ale is the result of a blend of English pale carmel malts to create just the right body. Then we incorporate classic hop varieties to create a harmonious balance with the malts. A rich copper color enhances this delicious brew.

Part of the sampler. Light orange color with a strong hop aroma. Actually a lighter hop flavor than I was expecting compared to the others I had. Very drinkable.

Draft sample at brewpub. Poured clear copper hue with medium creamy head that diminshed slowly with good lacing. Medium aroma of hops and malt. Medium body with soft carbonation. Well balanced flavor of malt, hops and citrus with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

The body of this ale is clear coppy and the small ecru head fades rapidly. It smells of caramel, fresh apples, and a grassy & floral hopping. It’s got a nice malty, fruity flavor with a bitterness that increases as the drink continues. Very sessionable.
