Our Tastes-- Stoudt's Scarlet Lady Ale
Pouring a tarnished penny in color and admittedly I haven't had an ESB in a while, Scarlet Lady Ale is a good representative of the class. Nose on it is that of a malty bread that seems like it would be good for you. Made with Maris Otter, Carafa, and Caramel malts, bittered with Perle and aroma'd (if that's a word) with Willamette. Little to no head retention with it. 5%abv good with pig, oink> Overall impression is that I probably wouldn't buy it again, but I'd let someone give it to me.
