12 ounce can, 6/14/19. HEY, a brewery was throwing lactose into random shit before it was cool! Clear copper, very large foamy and creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of toast and lactose. Taste is caramel, toast, cherries, lactose. Thin. Okay.

Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/27/2018. Pours slightly hazy deep copper color with a small dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread crust, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of nuttiness, plum, pear, red apple, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good complexity of bready malts and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread crust, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of nuttiness, plum, pear, red apple, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread crust, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, light fruits, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and complexity of bready malts and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a very nice ESB. All around nice robustness and complexity of bready malts and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very soft mouthfeel from the lactose and mellow carbonation. Very clean and rich malts; restrained fruity yeast and balancing earthy hops. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.
