July 25, 2005 - #16 of 365

Brewer: Stoudts Brewing Company (Pennsylvania, USA)
Beer: Scarlet Lady ESB
Style: ESB/Premium Bitter
abv: 5%

Background: Bottle from the store. I’ve been impressed by most other Stoudts offerings, but bitters are boring beers.

Appearance: Pours dark amber with a very nice two-finger head. Good lacing.

Aroma: Sweet, fruity, and malty, with a dash of earthy hops.

Flavor: Very English—biscuity, earthy, buttery, and a touch of hops to round it out.

Notes: Decent un-Americanized ESB. They did what they could with the style.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5
