Full Sail ESB
Appearance: pours a very cloudy orange / amber color with a short 1/2" head that breaks down immediately.
Smell: caramel and a load of fruity sweetness is detectable.
Taste: grainy malt profile. Caramel, ripe fruits, and a hint of earthy tones arrive late. Decent bitterness here too.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied. Lightly crisp to start, smoother towards the finish. Aftertaste is very short.
Overall: an easy to drink beer that leans a bit on the sweeter side, but is brought a bit into check with the bitterness. Sessionable beer
Breckenridge/Stranahan's Well Built ESB
Appearance: Pours a cloudy amber with a nice 2 finger head that dissipates fairly quick.
Smell: Well you could be drinking a whiskey if you didn't know any better, not characteristic of an ESB but nice with notes of vanilla and oak.
Taste: Very sweet for an ESB and huge whiskey notes. Some malt comes though but hard to get past the whiskey thats overwhelming.
Mouthfeel: Light carbonation, alcohol taste is present.
Overall: A nice beer and cool collaboration between two colorado establishments. I would drink this again but it definitely does not fall into the ESB category by any means.
Exposure Brewing ESB
Appearance: The pour is amber/light copper with a creamy off-white head.
Smell: Some moderate caramel and toffee notes and a floral, earthy hoppiness. Not an overly intense nose, but appropriate for the style
Taste: Very bready on the palate with a light amount of hop bitterness. Not an overwhelming flavor profile, but sessionalable
Mouthfeel: The body is medium and so is the level of carbonation. The finish leaves a lingering bitterness.
Overall: Nice beer to have on a summer day, not huge in any department but a nice balanced beer. I guess I am a bit biased but I think it turned out nice.
Cask of Driftwood Naughty Hildegard ESB at the Whip sunday Church of the Holy Real Ale , from Driftwood Brewery in Victoria . Brewmaster Jason Meyer has brewed this year's Naughty Hildergard with Golden Promise malts along with Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops to create a truly English-style ESB.
ESB have really embracied this social media lark, most of their poles are now hashtag enabled ! #DeadlyBuzz #ESBtag
I also did not remember that everything came in one batch !
By all my vintage items , I must have ordered 3 of these...
A bottle of Redhook ESB from the Redhook Brewery in Woodinville, Washington, enjoyed at Dulles International Airport while waiting for my flight home.
This Extra Special Bitter was slightly sweeter than the typical British bitter and felt much richer, more tasty, with a very good, creamy mouthfeel. It was too cold for any aroma to form though, but I really enjoyed the taste.
It may have been the situation, I was hot and exhausted, but I think this must have been one of the best bitters I have ever had!
