A superb ESB - these are getting harder and harder to find, anywhere. It was such a treat to have it at this pleasant brewery-pub in the middle of this charming New England town.

Had this beer on-tap. Pours a nice amber color, with a nice thin lace. The smell had a little citrus and I could definitely recognize the malts. I didn't think the taste had any bitterness to it, but it's got a nice smooth feel and definitely malty. Very enjoyable, I might have to ask for a growler of this when I go back.

Pours a dark copper with a bubbly white head. Smell is very mild and hard to pick up on, can get some fruity notes in there. Taste matches the style, pretty much dead on. Mouthfeel in nice and smooth with low carbonation, and a nice malty finish. Most likely low alcohol, very drinkable, could drink 5 growlers.
