Anvil ESB is our interpretation of a traditional British-style pub ale. Deep amber in color, a toasty character from British malts and a touch of kettle caramelization blend seamlessly with a mild English hop profile. Its delicate balance of flavors will keep you coming back pint after pint, making it a complex creation we’re proud to call our flagship beer.

Small taster showing dark brown. The nose shows moderately intense clean malts and tea. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated with a grainy maltiness and tea-like astringency on the finish.

Muted caramel and pine aroma, in equal proportions. Clear rust, thin yellow head. Nice malt and caramel interplay, fairly mild. Finishes a little woody. Medium to full body, easy carbonation. Well balanced, sessionable.

Taster at the brewery. Amber copper color with small white head. Aroma is toffee, caramel, dark bread crust. Taste is richer than you’d expect from an ESB. Dark bread crust, caramel, a bit vanilla, moderately bitter finish. Super smooth Pub Ale mouthfeel. Probably the best ESB I’ve ever had.

Bottle. Pours clear brown, with a big cola coloured creamy head. Aroma is nice roasted malts, with bread and caramel, nuts and some phenolic smoky notes, as well as earthy hops with a spicy zest and some citrusy notes. Medium body, with soft carbonation. Flavour is caramelised malts, with grain, bread, kandi, nuts and wood, as well as bitter hops, with spruce and zesty citrusy notes. Lingering grapefruity finish.

Kort og godt god, uten å være ekstrem eller pretensiøs. Fyldig, maltrik med tydelig humle og ypperlig til et måltid.
