Lakefront Organic ESB

Apperance is a clear light brown color with weak tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor mild; sweet of sugar, malt, fruit, minimal hops.

12oz bottle. Perfectly clear and light brown, creamy head has lasted the entire mug. Aroma is clean, slight resin from hops, some cherry and perhaps a little burnt sugar. First gulp contains glorious rum like flavor. Very light hopping lets the sugar and darker malt show through. It’s smashing with garlic scrambled eggs. I want to keeeep drinking, and definitely want to taste more ESBs. Yay beer!

Kinda misses the spot. Not sure the style they’re going for here. Bit of malt and no strong hop flavor to note. Somewhat watery--probably the worst of the 8-pack sampler of lakefront.

Sweet up front with a definite tart that hits the sides of your tongue. Finishes with a nice balance of hoppy bitterness.

Opaque orange-brown and copper in color. Nose of honeyed biscuits or cornbread. Nice palette, good mouthfeel. Simple in flavor but tasty. Gentle

Ehh. Aroma is grainy, nothing of note. Flavor is very similar. This beer is just kind of there.

Aroma: Caramel malts, light hop nose, bit of fruit (cherry?), an almost medicinal quality

Flavor: Similar to the nose, but kind of weak/light, some malts, some hops, not a lot there
