Fine session ale. Incredibly malty, balanced- very drinkable.
A: nice tawny color- some cloudiness but the beer is still young. Thin head.
S: Malt and more malt! A hint of butter and slight yeasty smell.
T: Slightly sweet, caramel and-surprise-malty again! Just as an ESB should be. Balanced bitterness- this brew would give the Brits a run for the money. Nice work, James!
This beer is very tasty but will improve if I can wait another -4 weeks. Hopefully I will still have some left by then!
