Sierra Nevada ESB
Sierra Nevada’s ESB (Early Spring Beer) pours a dark amber - nearly red - color with a small head and has a subtle floral aroma. This American take on a British ESB (Extra Special Bitter) is exactly what you would expect: the balance between the malts and hops is skewed in favor of the hops.
The maltiness is small but distinct, and there’s a bitter kick to the finish. But it’s a pretty good beer. This is what last night’s mild ale should have tasted like.
