Stoudts Scarlet Lady Ale ESB

Thanks daknole. Hazy red-amber, two fingers of beige head. Aroma has cidery malts and citric hops. Flavor is similar, plus a significant bread crust element. Hot despite the modest ABV. Medium body and carbonation.

Red copper pour with small white head. Baked malt nose with some hops. Weak caramel flavor, light hops and light malt.

On atp at Magoos. Very earthy for an esb with camphor and aromatic tones. Only modest head copper color, some lacing. very slightly sweet but a nice balance of hops to finish.

12 oz bottle-mahogany red color w/almost no head. Burnt malt aroma. Flavors of burnt malt & hops, really way too much hop for this style. Maybe some weak caramel flavor. No real trace of malt or sweetness to it. Seemed out of balance to me, not real crazy @ this one. One of the poorer efforts I’ve seen from this brewer.

Pours dark amber, hint of red, with a medium white head. Aroma is very malty, caramel, some chocolate perhaps, very sweet. Flavor is similar, with a smooth finish. Very tasty, well balanced.

Pours a dirty amber with a light off white head. Nice malty sweetness on the nose followed by the bitterness of the hops. Pretty much the same for the taste. Actually seems a little out of balance. All said, nice easy drinking. Nothing special but nothing bad.

This is a great American representation of the style....light, smooth, malty. I recommend this one.

Bottle. Pour is amber withs a small white lace. Nose is english hops, a bit of malt. Flavor is more of the same, with a slightly lagerish finish. Easy drinking.
