Boulevard ESB

The latest 12 pack sampler from Boulevard Brewing Company of Kansas City, Missouri includes two new "Tasting Room" beers, beers that have been available in their tasting room in the past, but never before bottled. There is this ESB, or Extra Special Bitter, a British style, and their Ginger-Lemon Radler.

The beer pours a very light amber and copper in color. There is nearly an inch of just off-white head. The aroma is light, a bit of toasted, and lightly roasted malt, very light caramel note. The taste follows the aromas, hitting the same light malt notes, with a meek note of nuttiness, and a grassy and lightly to moderately bitter finish. Nothing wrong with this, just not much going on either.
