We used floor-malted Maris Otter barley and some English caramalt to form the base of this simple pale ale, hopped it with East Kent Goldings, and fermented with a classic British Ale yeast. The water was treated with heavy mineral additions, to mimic the hard waters in parts of England where these beers originated. Bitters were and are the classic ale consumed in cozy pubs throughout the UK. We hope you enjoy ours!

Pours slightly hazed deep gold into an English pint. White head with little retention crackles and recedes to mottle surface. Caramel and apple aromas. Soft with bitter roots, caramel and plastic front to back. Lasting hot plastic finish.

Pours a lightly hazy dirty gold color with a bubbly while head that dissipates a bit quickly. rich bready toasty maltiness with some hints of toffee and earth. Been a while since Ive had an ESB and I enjoyed it.
