Stoudt's Scarlet Lady ESB
Stoudts Scarlet Lady ESB On tap in a shaker pint. See-thru brownish amber body with a minimal off-white head that soon becomes a patchy skim of foam. A little bit of lacing. Aromas are nutty and crisp, fruity and moderately sweet, with a hint of herbal hops. Not a bad-tasting brew, although I would love to see the hops kicked up a notch. Toasted malt and nuttiness dominate the flavor profile up front, with some sweetness and a small sting of bitterness sneaking in right at the finish. Overall impression: Somewhat lacking in hop presence, but goes down easy.
