another beer for me. another reason to get divorced.
the esb is a radiant red with absolutely no head. what is it with me not getting any head?
bitter, sour aroma of grain and cabbage. I didn't say it was great.
the flavor is very good. it is a nice spicy hop flavor right up front which maintains its body until a bitter flavor kicks in. slightly fruity quality in this one as well, as well as a little grassy aftertaste.
thick, undercarbonated mouthfeel.
very decent brew here. more carbonation please, but that is my personal preference. great flavor on this.

I style of beer I always have loved over the last 21 years and in a format that I would drink first in most places if it was available. Of the currently available beers of this style in my area, Sawtooth Ale (not the nitro one) and Fullers ESB are clearly it's only peers. When visiting other areas I buy ESB when I see it around. Still Broad Ripple has been doing this well for a long time and has kept it around because they do ESB good.
