Three pounds of Earl Grey tea in the bright tank transform this standard ESB by adding a lush balance of bergamot. Darker crystal malts add color and malty sweetness, and Fuggle and East Kent Golding hops complement the tea by adding floral, earthy notes.

On tap at the taproom. Pours lightly hazed amber with a beige head. Aroma & taste of earl grey tea, lacks the malt character I'd have expected from an ESB

Pours amber with an aroma of earl grey tea and mild caramel malt. It tastes of caramel malt and bergamot. Sweet. Very mild hops bitterness. It’s okay.
