Nothing but Love
Extra Special Bitter Ale – 4.5% ABV
4PK – 16oz Cans
We revived one of our oldest recipes, and we’re very excited to reintroduce the world (for a third re-introduction) to “Nothin’ But Love”, our original love letter to the magnificent style that is ESB.
The first time we released this (ALMOST FIVE YEARS AGO!), we brewed it on our pilot system as a one-off and inevitably fell in love with it. We originally brewed this beer with an overly complex blend of 100% English Malts and Hops. Since then, we have switched over to a more straightforward Malt bill comprised 100% of @riverbendmalt, but still pummeled it with an absurd amount of English Hops, but this time we used solely Fuggles in massive quantities throughout the Boil and Whirlpool.
With each subsequent re-brew, we’ve switched things up in an effort to achieve a better overall balance. We still absolutely demolished this (2#/bbl) in the Kettle and Whirlpool with Fuggles Hops, so don’t worry.
The result is lock-step in line with a true ESB, and we’re very happy about that. Rich, malty, hoppy (in a VERY English way), and ultimately still very sessionable. Big notes of freshly toasted biscuits drizzled in Orange Marmalade, a fresh cup of English Breakfast tea, and an absolute face full of Honeysuckle.
Available on CASK HAND PUMP in our taprooms only! Also available at normal human-level carbonation on draft and in cans on 5/21 in AVL and 5/23 in DRM.
