This beer pours a nice hazy brown with a head that is a light tan. There is actually excellent lacing. There is a nice hop and yeast aroma with a hint of citrus. As for the taste, it is not exactly extra bitter. There is a little bitterness to it, but tastes like it is watered down. I tried to find some taste other than the very faint hop taste but i couldn't. An allright brew house beer.

What that EFH stood for is beyond me. But this was a nice ESB.

22oz mug.

A nice copper color with a off-white head that stayed the entire way down.

Smell was a little light but some nice malts with a flare of some hops, but it was all too light.

Taste made up for it though. A nice malt backbone along with some slight caramel and toasted flavors. Hops enter in the middle to give it a balance effect.

Mouthfeel was light to medium with the right amount of carbonation.

Looks like a new receipe considering their regular ESB didn't do so well. But a nice well rounded ESB that went down nicely.
