12oz single from russpowell as part of a recent trade.
Pour has excellent color, with a beautiful red clarity and a nice creamy head. Good lace. Looks inviting.
Malty nose, but some extra hop character. It melds quite nicely together. A little sugary-sweet alcohol in there too.
Nice malty base which encourages me, but ultimately the hop bitterness slightly spoils the finish for me. I think this is yet ANOTHER American brewed ESB that has too prominent a hop taste. Bitterness lingers a LONG time in the finish.
The beer is OK, but once again I am disappointed in the style reference.
