Old Thumper ESA
4 Mar
Name - Old Thumper ESA
Country - United States
Type - Extra Special Bitter
Appearance - Poured a deep red almost maroon color that was transparent through. Small bubbly white head.
Smell - Smells of some slightly sweet malts and almost a tea like smell to it as well.
Taste - Sweet nut tastes up front with a bitter hop taste on the finish.
This is the Shipyard version of Old Thumper and not the British version that you might see on hand pump at British pubs, like the Blue Anchor. Pretty dead on to what you would expect from an ESB. I enjoyed it and would definitely have it again.
Overall Grade – B
