Brewed in collaboration with our oldest friend, Peter Zien of AleSmith Brewing, Zonked! pays homage to where it all began. A humble English Special Bitter, made in a truly unique & untraditional fashion - Triumph & Sultana hops, paired with a easy base of ESB malt and intentional kettle caramelization has produced super intriguing ale. Layers of fresh evergreen tree, bruleed orange zest, and toasted breads sit atop an easy drinking pint.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Presentation: 16 oz. can with the canning date printed on the bottom. Served in a pint glass. 

Appearance: The half finger, bone white head stays around for a while and leaves behind a thin ring and a lot of lacing that covers the entire glass. It's a beautiful, dull amber color.

Smell: It's a toasted bread aroma along with caramel and honey. A touch of pine resin shows up in the background.

Taste: There's a strong, sharp bitterness at first of orange peel and pine but some very pleasant sweet notes of caramel and malt bring balance to the flavor. 

Mouthfeel: It's medium bodied and creamy with medium-high carbonation. 

Overall: While not exactly a "by the book" ESB, the spirit of the style is still there. This is a well balanced and enjoyable beer.
