This strong English ESB Recipe is a great bitter style to let our heritage Maris Otter® barley showcase its malt character to the fullest. Highly drinkable with a good balance between our malts and classic English hop varieties, this beer is darkened and sweetened with caramel notes by the Crystal, Amber and just a touch of Roast Barley to deepen the reddish hues.

A 20 minute steep in the copper prior to casting the wort will extract aromas of lavender, spice, honey and thyme from the East Kent Goldings hops.
