This is my latest baby - an English style amber ale - I'm not sure if I'd classify this as an American Amber or an ESB. Either way, it is awesome. My poker crew agreed with me and killed this keg in record time
I'll brew it again as soon as a bucket opens up. It's an awesome session ale packed with flavor.
