Sampler at brewpub. This is one of those American ESBs, you know full of hops. This one has particularly lots of hops, an offense to the style I haven’t experienced in a while. The hops are nice, sweet bubblegum hops, my tav. Once my nostrils adjust I can pick up the British dusty malts and toasty character. Same in taste, lots of awesome hops that are fresh and once I get passed the strong bitterness I taste the toasty dusty malts. Frankly I don’t want those two styles mixed but its done as the brewer intended. No complaints there just nit my scene.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a slightly hazy copper color with an off-white head. Sweet malty caramel aroma with some weak hints of hops. Sweetish malty caramel flavor with some hoppy hints. Has a slightly sweetish malty caramel finish with a citrus hoppy aftertaste.

Richly malty, with caramel flavours to the fore; sulphur note (perhaps more than my comfort level); rather yeasty, but develops complexity). Very english-tasting, not the usual Big Time fare.
