Commercial Description:
Big Daddy's E.S.B. is a classic super premium bitter that is extra "special", not extra bitter. Eastern Washington Cascade hops, added at four different stages throughout the brewing process, give E.S.B. a distinctively Northwest character. Imported British Crystal malt provides richness in color, body and flavor.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with riversideAK (thanks!). This one was filled all the way to the top of the bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, toasty, and some pine. Tastes of toffee, citrus, lighter pine, and toasted grains.

Tap &#64; Brewery: Copper, light head and lacing. Nose of nice simcoe and amarillo, pine and grapefruit. Subtle bittering, dry hopped ESB? Delicious blasphemy, sweet body, chewy, quaff-and-drinkable.

Draft at the brewpub. Crystal clear light golden brown; thin gray rim. Big butter and caramel nose. Medium body, slightly fizzy. Butter, cream, caramel mid-palate. Herbal hop to balance. Cleanish biscuity finish. Kinda surprised to find such a butter bomb at SC, but they do seem to have high local demand for their beers, and maybe they’re rushing things through.

This ESB pours a medium brown amber color from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel, fruity with a touch of piney hops. A medium bodied ESB/Bitter. The malts are fruity and caramel. The hops are piney and earthy. Decent balance. Nice carbonation. This beer has the caramel and malts of an ESB and the hops of a PNW Pale Ale. Kind of a strange combination, but it seems to work. Its light enough to be a session ale, but has enough of a flavor profile to keep it interesting. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
