Tonight I tried an Extra Special Bitter Session Ale from Samual Adams. ESB is sort of a misnomer as this was an exceptional beer. Just a touch of hops and clean finish. Very easy to drink. I enjoyed this and it makes me want to try more from this category.
Now on to what SA says about it.
"The Extra Special Bitter style originated as a Pale Ale but over time became known as ESB. Session Ale uses traditional malt character from the Maris Otter malt, along with the fruity and ester character of the yeast. We brewed this beer with English hops to bring out the floral, citrus notes of Bavarian Noble hops.
Hops - East Kent Goldings, Tettnang Tettnanger Noble hops
Grain - Samuel Adams 2-row pale malt blend, Maris Otter, Honey Malt
Yeast - Samuel Adams pale yeast"
