BITTER is a class of English traditional ale, with three general subcategories: Ordinary, Special Bitter, and Extra Special Bitter or ESB for short. Terms like ordinary, special, and extra special don’t mean that one is better than another. Rather, these designations indicate in their broadest sense a difference in original specific gravity and final alcohol content.
East Side E.S.B. is brewed with pale and dark caramel malts, with a touch of roasted and chocolate malt from Great Britain. It is kettle hopped with Cascades and Centennial, then dry-hopped with East Kent Goldings to create a complex hop character complimentary to the richness of the malt. Unfiltered and well balanced, the malt and hops blend with a gentle natural carbonation making for a refreshing, quaffable brew. Enjoy!!

2004 cask @ the brewery. Served a moderately brownish-amber, slightly transluscent with a small but persistent off-white head. Aroma of sweet brown bread, brown sugar a touch of toasted earthiness and plenty of spicy hops (perle). Flavor is right away sweet and malty (caramel and rich toffee) with a good dose of spicy and only lightly bitter hops. Very creamy consistency, but enough carbonation to keep things interesting. Ever so light fruit esters on the finish, with more hops and malt mixed together. I thouroughly enjoyed this one.
