- Tasting Notes
- Malt Forward with just the right amount of bitterness to make a very balanced beer!
Here is my first ESB recipe that I created with a little help from my friends at HBT. This beer came out great and I've gotten nothing but compliments on it. My ABV came out a little high because the yeast decided to have a field day and the FG finished at 1.009 instead of 1.011. I hope you all enjoy.
