The rain had me wanting something a bit maltier... Shiga Kogen E2SB 6% Experimental Extra Special Bitter-02 Great looking matte orange brown with a dense beige foam to me screams ESB. Fruity hops up front then malty caramel cocoa. Medium bodied and finished quite dry. This is a very solid ESB. Good example of the style to me.

light amber color. Nice earthy character with apricots, citrus and apples underneath. Nice solid backbone, firm bitterness. Lovely mouthfeel and definitely malt forward. Nice earthy citrus finish.

Nice stuff. Enough hoppiness to make it interesting. Doesn’t feel like an ESB which works for me. However, very malty as you’d expect.
