Extra Special Bitter Ale
Extra Special/Strong Bitter
ABV: 5.5% IBU: 35 |
A perfume of citrusy hops, caramelized malts, and subtle fruit esters rises from this dark copper brew. Focus closely on the front of the sip: A momentary, surprising tannic quality dries the tongue before a wave of toasty malts and earthy hops slide in. While toasted notes rule the middle of the tongue, an enjoyably rough, woodsy bitterness grows in the back with each sip. Its smooth mouthfeel makes for an easy-drinking brew, and this beer’s a fit for those who enjoy resinous hops with American qualities. |
