Formerly known as AleSmith ESB, this is the original AleSmith offering and remains their flagship brew.

This brew has a richly-flavored style, yet is smooth and easy to drink with a deep toasty and caramely malt flavor, balanced by a spicy and fruity hop aroma.

The inspiration for this ESB (Extra Special Bitter) came from co-founder Ted Newcomb's trips to England and his efforts to brew the perfect ESB.
