Our Tastess-- Sierra Nevada 2008 ESB (Early Spring Bitter)


I've had several of the Sierra Nevada line and the ESB is a super reddish-copper brew, made with British-grown Maris Otter, Two-row Pale & Crystal, with a great mouthfeel and aroma of a strong pale ale using bittering hops of English Challenger and finishing hops of English Challenger and East Kent Goldings THEN dry hopping with English Challenger, U.S. Challenger, U.S. Goldings, & Crystal. 5.9%abv makes this an annual favorite already.
