Everyone knows, it's bitters! (that's me!)Yeah, I know, getting back on track now.
The Extra Special Bitters is a summertime release, between April and June according to the Full Sail website. When poured, the bitters have a rich amber orange color, and a modest head without being too foamy. It starts out thick, but that dissipates quickly.
Tastewise, the hops come through clear, well balanced. They're neither overpowering nor subtle, which would I'm sure tickle IPA drinkers. It's also malty, there is a crisp caramel bite to it in the finish. Reminiscent of orange juice and honey lemon tea, which I'd guess comes from the citris hops. There is supposedly a pleasant bouquet, but it was too subtle for me to tell. I'm told it's a sugary aroma. Overall, it's a mellow well balanced beer, and in my opinion it has something for everyone.
