The Water's End and Prince William Historic Preservation collaboration continues with another Sip of History brew. Our Pub Ale, more formally known as ESB, originally descended from British IPA in the 19th Century and can be thought of as a British Pale Ale. These traditional Pale Ales followed a ladder system from Bitter to Special Bitter to Extra Special Bitter. As you ascended the ladder of British styles you would find a higher level of alcohol. Our Pub Ale will have some hop aroma from Willamette hops, an American descendant of Fuggle, used in the boil and dry hop. This malt forward beer is amber brown and much more balanced than its American counterpart and provides additional complexity of fruitiness from the yeast as well as some biscuit, caramel and toffee from specialty malts.
