The Mash Tun menu refers to this as “amber-pale.” Since I need a more recognized category, I’m following my palate’s lead, which tells me it’s an ESB. It’s actually a very agreeable ale with an English temperament and a fine frothy head. It is ruddy bronze and tastes a bit like Mr. Lipton’s tea. Its grassy bitterness closes with a bit of a tang, but the obvious freshness with its feathery mouthfeel and gripping film of lace really carries it. But I can’t figure why they named it for a household plumbing fixture.
