Sierra Nevada ESB (Early Spring Beer)
Pours a crystal clear golden amber color with a nice egg shell colored head that left a good amount of lacing on the glass. The smell is of light fruity hops and a buttery caramel malt. Starts off with a fruity/grassy hop flavor which is quickly followed by a buttery bready malt and finishes with a toasted malt and slightly resin like hop flavor. A good range of flavors that blend well. The feel is moderate with light carbonation, finishes with an earthy sort of bitterness. A nice sessionable brew, quite easy to drink. Not sure I'm a big fan of the dry bitterness that shows in the end.
