This classic ESB honors the history and origin of the style. A robust ale that is well balanced but has a traditional English bitterness. Easy drinking and extremely tasty.

Pint at the small brewery in North Park over St. Patrick’s Day weekend. This is super dark, a bit surprising. Has that malt forward flavor with plenty of bitterness in the finish. A good American interpretation but nothing beats an ESB from cask in the UK (naturally).
