Lakefront - Organic Extra Special Bitter (ESB)Organic beer? Is Jon a hippy? No, no I am not. I visited this brewery and do not recall ever having it. I am not sure if the cow is jumping over the barn due to the sweetness of this beer, or of the bitters. Let’s skip the color, you can click the picture can’t you?! The aroma is sweet smelling, not what I expected. Let’s move on to the taste of this one. It was also not what I expected. It was sweet, with almost light bitters. Did the jalapeño pizza kill my taste buds for this one?! Did the organic ingredients’ flavors not keep long enough in the bottle? This was not a bad beer, but it was not ESB. I was expecting the bitters of an IPA, APA, or other pale, but no such luck. No such luck on the rating because of it!

Specs: 12oz bottle
5.7% ABV
25 IBU
