Name – Sierra Nevada ESB (Early Spring Beer)
Country – United States
Type – Extra Special Bitter

Appearance – Copper color almost red in appearance.  White head was small.

Smell – Pleasing smell was a bit hoppy with a slight citrus tint to it.

Taste – Good mouthfull with a bitter, taste but not overpowering.  Had slightly nutty taste to me.  Very refreshing from start to finish.  No bad after taste.

As a fan of other Sierra Nevada brews I was optimistic on this one and it stood up to my preconceptions.  I think the play off of the name ESB by calling it Early Spring Beer fits.  It would be a very good beer for those spring nights or maybe even not as humid summer nights when you just want to sit on the porch and enjoy a good refreshing beer.

Overall Grade – B+
