Lakefront Organic ESB

This isn’t as bad as the ratings suggest. Nice appearance. Dark honey with nice head and lacing. Oily/thin mouthfeel. Light bitterness. Average kraft brew here.

Amber. Little off white carbonation. Faint aroma of caramel malt and a light fruitiness. Flavor is all caramel with just a touch of euro hop in the finish. Light body, balanced carbonation. Drinkable, unimpressive.

Pours a burnt dark orange, with a small off white head. Very mild aroma, tough to pull much out at all. Maybe some faint malts and slight citrus. Thats about it. Where are the hops? The taste is almost all malt as well. Some syrupy caramel flavors are evident, and the hops finally make an appearance in the finish. Not exactly what I look for in an ESB. Needs more hops.

Bottle. Cherry, apple and malt aroma. Dark amber with a small head. Cherry, malt and pine hops flavor. Nice body. A very nice ESB on the hoppy side.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber color with small floaties and a small off white head that disappears quickly. The aroma is floral/herbal hops with light malt. The flavor is Light citrus fruit, thin malt, and a hint of spice. Not much in the way of bitterness. This is simply OK. Light-medium mouthfeel.

12oz bottle from a 8pk sampler. copper color, tan foamy head - nice lacing. Aroma of Malted Grains. It has a very sweet malt flavor. Not what I was expecting, a short quiet finish with little bitterness. Overall, kinda quiet and still better than BASS!

Spicy malt aroma. Orange color with some white foam. Strong sweet malt taste not much from the hops.

Dark amber pour with a thin beige head. Nice floral hop nose. Hoppy flavor with a fairly rich, strong malt backbone. Clean finish. Not bad.
