A style of which we don’t know where it fits in. Crisp, light, balanced golden English malts married with English and American hops. Fermented cool for a crushable, lightly bitter, super balanced ale.

Light, refreshing, full of interesting flavors. Definitely not what I think of as an ESB.

I agree with a previous reviewers, this has a pronounced tea-like flavor. It doesn't overwhelm but it did make me go "huh?" In a good way.

On tap at Beef and Brew in Geneva, NY.

This one pours a golden light reddish color, with a small head and lots of lacing.

This smells like tea, dark fruit, kind of like raisin maybe, and bready malt.

I'd want a bit more bitterness here, but the malt backbone is pretty interesting, tea-like, almost berry like, with some dark breadiness.

This is lighter bodied, kind of thin, with a solid drinkability.

This has some flaws to it, but it's overall a nice little beer.
