Rye ESB
This Extra Special Bitter collab with Steeplejack explores this traditional style by using Washington-grown Baronesse barley malt & Gazelle stewed “Special G” Rye malt from LINC Malt for a rich, spicy body with a touch of herbal hop character from an experimental variety out of the Hopsteiner breeding program. Steeplejack’s English yeast strain adds a fruity compote flavor, striking a balance with the dryness of the beer & robust malts.
To experience the full flavor of this beer we recommend letting the beer warm up to 50ºF or more before drinking.

Dark red cloudy body with white head. Was surprising. Bread aroma. Malty taste with a hop edge. Confused finish
