Sierra Nevada ESB


One thing I do enjoy is beer. There was a new find at my local Ralph's a month or so ago. It's Sierra Nevada ESB, or Early Spring Beer.

This beer isn't cheap (although these days not much microbrew is due to high malt costs and increasing hops costs), but it definately delivers. It's got a nice malty base and is very bitter. There are some aroma hops but the bittering hops really are the featured flavor here.

If you like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, this is a very nice change. I'm assuming they use the same yeast - there is some resemblance to the Pale.

Here's a link to their website: http://www.sierranevada.com/beers/esb.html
