An earthy, lightly toasty traditional Best Bitter brewed to showcase newly available Irish Stout and Ale malts. We use Special B and Black malts for color and slight roast complexity. It is named for Gerry Adams, the president of Sinn Fein, who was instrumental in the development of the Belfast Agreement in the late 1990s, which brought a cease-fire to Northern Ireland.

On tap at the brewery, quick review from written notes.
Two imperial pints paired perfectly with Smalls fried chicken & Sticky Rice goodies, thanks Jay!
Bright burnished copper color, perfect clarity, creamy head with a velvety surface texture from the nitro. Long lasting coverage, the head never breaks for the duration of the glass. Decent malt toastiness, slight maple and a light floral note. Grainy with a slight staleness for some reason. Smooth and light bodied with a creamy feel, lower carbonation emulates a cask serving. Finishes clean and dry. Overall a pretty nice English Bitter with an authentic British character about it.

Had at rev. Poured from nitro-tap into a mug club mug. Pours a copper color with a nice head.
Very good aromas of toffee, bitter hops, amber grains, and some savory earth notes. Nice depth as well to it.
Medium bodied with a very good feel. Balanced with notes of bitter hops, toffee and some earthen tones.
This is a real quality ESB. This is one I hope rev does more often as it hits all of the right spots.
