Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a slight copper to semi-dark orange color with a finger’s worth of semi-white sort of almost off-white sort of color. Light little lace running off of the faded head.
The aroma had a decent blend between the grassy/earthy hops to hit upon some nice biscuit/bready type of malts, somewhat dry.
The flavor leaned towards this side of what I said in the aroma. Slight biscuity smooth aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation and a nice ABV.
Overall, worthy ESB of having again.

Sampled on draft at the Cranberry PA location this beer poured a dark red-caramel color with a small red-khaki head. The aroma was dry and crisp fruity hops. The flavor was bitter, tart and crisp floral and vague fruity hops. The finish was long, bitter and harsh.

Anniversary ESB, celebrates one years of continuous H&H. On tap in Cranberry. Nice people there! The pour is a big alabaster head and the color is orangish brown. It has a wonted beer aroma of yeasty uncooked bread dough. It also has some of that perfume quality I find so prevalent in H&H brews. This may be the dishwashers fault. Fairly malty bitter on the first taste. Barely any carbonation, if any. Not much sweetness is detected but there certainly is some malty bitterness on the back of my throat. I think I can feel some East Kent Golden Hops! The alky content seems to be much higher than the 5% listed on the bar data card. Says the IBU is 52 and I would agree with that. Finish is a bitter linger that hangs for a few minutes on the back of my throat.
