ESBs to me are usually a Zzzzz style, but I had a feeling that at Piece this particular style wouldn't be boring. And I was rewarded for my confidence - this was a light, well-balanced, but still assertively hoppy ale that was quite good.
Appearance was a light amber, with an abundant tan head. Aroma was sweet, citrusy hop notes. Flavor was more citrus hoppiness well balanced by maltiness. The overall character was a very pleasant but not over-the-top floral, citrus-y hoppiness. Mouthfeel was fairly light and clean.
Sort of reminded me of 2 Hearted, but with significantly more maltiness. Quite good.
I had this on tap at Piece, and would definitely recommend it.

I drank this at Piece from the tap.
It pours a dark amber with a nice light tan head. Its got nice lacing and retention.
It smells floral with hops.
It tastes great. It has a nice complex taste that is strong is spicy yet fruity and has a great bitter taste at the end.
This is very drinkable, I drank it all night long.
