A Note on This Beer
Confession: I avoid math like it’s the plague.
UNLESS we’re talking about an equation I actually care about, like, ‘Me + Beer = Happy.’ Or, in the case of today’s brew, ‘toffee-like, nutty malt + tantalizing hop bitterness = ESB (Extra Special Beer)’.
Okay, ESB doesn’t actually stand for Extra Special Beer, although it should! It stands for Extra Special Bitter, and it’s a classic English pub style known for its biscuity, malty undertones, and refreshing hop character.
Which the GABF gold medalists at Block15 absolutely nailed! To craft their A+ worthy version of the traditional style, they imported English malts and hops for flavors of toasted nuts, lavish caramel, and organic honey. A gentle, yet refreshing hop bite balances the malts’ dreamy, bready, mildly-spicy notes.
Now, it’s your turn to do some math! Sunshine + You + This Beer = ?
(Answer key: ? = a bangin’ good time)
