This was our February selection in our BOTM club.
It pours a deep gold with blotchy head remnants. I've seen this look before and it's neither bad nor good.
Aroma is very light and all I got was minimal hops.
Taste has a stale malty start and a slight hoppy finish. I would expect a bit more from an ESB.
Carbonation is low. This is an Okay ESB. I wouldn't turn it down but there are so many others that I would go to before the Flying Fish.

Cloudy caramel brown body with a beige head. Sweet fruit esters, caramel, and unnecessary booziness. Taste is way too sweet for an esb, but the malts help dull it by the finish, still one note on the flavor even for this simpler style. Feel is again oddly harsh in the start of the sip, but otherwise malty.
