Straw colored with a mild amount of hopping. Organic ESB is one of the few certified organic beers brewed in the world today. The malt bill is comprised of 2-row, Munich, and caramel that is flavored with organic German Perle hops.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bronze color with a medium sized orange-tan head. The aroma was light sweet nutty malts and fruity hops. The flavor was bitter, tart, tangy and somewhat dry with moderate fruity hops and lightly vegetal malts.

Lightly roasted malt aroma. Amber color with a decent near-white head. Thin to medium body with near creamy carbonation. The flavor is more malty than hoppy. Definitely caramel, but the hop is hard to pin down. Somewhat spicy, perhaps floral. The finish is less than dry, but there is enough hop to balance. Fits the ESB style, but perhaps the hop aromas are a bit lacking. Decent stuff.

Nice carmael malt aroma of moderate strength. Cloudy ochre, no head. Tastes as it smells and only slightly bitter. Weak copper finish.Not a great beer, but a very tolerable ESB for those of who aren’t fond of the style.

12 oz bottle from Lakefront Sampler from Bottle Barn; Nose of very lite ESB type hops and caramel; orange with a medium off-white head; flavor is lightly sweet caramel, a tiny smidgeon of hop bitterness, which lasts to the finish, and a little fruitiness.

Reddish orange in color and has a teafroth head. Barely any beer aroma, pretty clean on the olfactory. Very smooth initial flavor, not quite as bitter as I expected. Friendly and easy to get along with. As the session continues, a slight bitterness begins to build on the palate. Low medium carbonation. Not bad for an ESB, expected it to be more bitter and I’m glad it is not. Finish is not offensive and very gentlemanlike in it’s manners.

Bottle. Nice light, brown body with a bit of a reddish tone to it. Head starts at a little better than one finger and dies down with a little bit of lacing and a film across the surface. Aromas are of sweet malt and bitter (and slightly astringent) alcohol with a touch of some hops. Flavor is definitely on the bitter side, and there is that astringent quality that showed itself in the nose. Things end with a sweet malt aftertaste with just a little remnant of the hops presence sticking around. Ho hum...
