Alesmith's Anvil Ale

Sheepy ale. Pastoral cream. Sugar foam with barley bubbles.

The first (and still most popular) ale from Alesmith Brewing Company in San Diego; this Extra Special Bitter lives up to its name. The malt in this beer is sweet and toasty, but also has a sour kick. Vinegary almost, the bitterness makes this beer far easier to drink than the nuttier ESBs of the mother country. That, and it's less snobby. An American ESB with manners. Good day.
