Exquisitely balanced.
Tasting Notes: Pours reddish-copper with a thin, creamy beige head. Subtle smells of caramel, honey, citrus and grassy floral hops entice while the taste delivers a pleasantly bold hop flavor against a very strong malt backbone. Well-balanced and delicious.
Malts: Pale, Munich, C77, CaraHell and Belgian Special B.
Hops: Bittered with Chinook, finished with Cascade and Centennial.
Body: Medium.
IBU: 60

thanks to SuzyGreenberg for this extra.
Pours a dark red amber with great head and nice lace. the nose is very malty and creamy with only slight hop flavors. The first taste is real malty (suprisingly). Creamy flavors and a very interesting malt taste. the hops come around through the middle, and finish strong. The mouthfeel is very creamy and thick. Goes down smooth. a very drinakble ESB. Good offering from elysian.
