Anvil Ale ESB
Presentation: 22 oz bomber. Lengthy description of the style on the back, but no freshness info to be found. Appearance: Pours a cloudy red orange color with a bit of haze. Medium sized head that fades, but leaves a good amount of lacing. Smell: Sweet malt aroma dominates, with a nice amount of fruity hops in there too. Taste: Nice smooth mouthfeel and low carbonation which seem appropriate for the style. Bready malt flavor, with quite a bit of hops balancing things out. Very smooth and drinkable. Overall impression: Highly drinkable, and nicely reminsecent of cask conditioned beers. Very well done - wish I could get it locally.
