Rich amber color with strong caramel and bittering notes. The Extra Special Bitter is just that.

An easy pour from a 32-oz. crowler yielded a finger of soapy beige foam with short retention and small spots of lacing. A wide ring persists. Clear amber-new penny copper color, beautiful.
Bold and balanced smell of floral/herbal hops and bready and toasted malt. A hint of caramel malt and a general fruity sweetness appear with, dark bread dough and fresh baked dark bread.
The taste is just on the sweet side, almost neutral. Bold toasted malt flavor is edged out by apple, baked pitted fruits and the caramel. The hops are bold, bitterness is on the high side (West Coast IPA level) yet consistent throughout the drink.
The finish is long, fruit flavor drops off first as it dries to semi-dry. Caramel and that floral/herbal hop flavor linger on.
Medium body with soft carbonation, easily released at first yet plenty held in reserve. Balanced yet boldly flavored. Again I say beautiful looks. This is my first ESB, it matches style guidelines. Hoppy-er and dryer than American Amber Ales. A bit hoppy-er than AltBier but a close match. This is the big and dark end of the Pale Ale category. Brewery fresh.
