ESB
Burke's Alewerks

 

No can date
Pours a med off white 1/2 finger head with med retention a touch of lacing, hazy burnt orange color

Nose is on the lighter side, herbal tea hops, almost tobacco like, and a bit earthy, touch of sweet malt, caramel and toasted bread, touch fruity

Taste quite fruity, strawberry, some pome fruit, lots of strawberry, light herbal hop, black tea, quite earthy, tobacco, light bitterness, sweet malt but light on the flavor, mild caramel and toasted bread crust but almost no malt flavor, mild sweet sticky finish

Mouth is med bod, med to lighter fizzy carb

Overall this was an interesting beer, more like a table beer, doesn't really come close to ESB other than some of the fruity esters (although wrong fruits) and the hops had some of the expected earthy and herbal tea, but the strawberry, and lack of malt made this kinda meh

Copper with white head.

Smell is subtle and slightly bready

Taste has a fruity sweetness on top of the bready malt flavor, but has a slightly bitter dry finish.

This is a well balanced, tasty, and easy drinking beer.
