draft @ TBBC copper, light off-white head. Aroma, bitter dark fruits, fresh hops yeasty and caramel malts. Flavors, light palate, some roasted malts and a tad of sweetness. As it warms up, the beer’s ESB bitter aspects are more forward, adding to the mix grassy hops. Overall it’s decent ESB, wish the nose had some extra complexity.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear deep gold with a copper core, off white head and decent lacing. The aroma is malty sweet and roasty but leaning toward the sweet side. Overall the nose is too meek. The taste is mild with some pale to highly roasted malts along with a stream of mild hops that border on tasting pine like. To go along with the pine-ish hop note is a spice hoppiness that tries to carry the flavor experience to the finish. Decent ESB

Hair of the Dog ESB–on tap-pours a retaining light tan head that laces and amber color. Aroma is musty light/medium malt. Taste is musty light/medium malt-some caramel, earthy/metallic (English-EKG? and ___?) hops. Finishes bitter-metallic. OK carbonation.
