Old Thumper ESA

An attractive clear, copper colored body, with some rising bubbles and decent continued carbonation. Nice, small but perfectly formed dense white head and some really nice lacing with good retention.

The aroma seems sweet and fruity.

Up front tastes are sweet malts, with a little zesty bitterness, but not really much hop character. The small hop bitterness comes in the finish and lingers a little in the aftertaste, and again ones gets a little bit of a citrus “zing” to finish the drink. A tiny bit of grapefruit lingers a little.

Decent mouthfeel and a pretty nice drinkability. Not a classic ESB in my opinion, but a decent beer.
