Now onto the final part in the Ska Brewing series, the ESB Special Ale. Video below:

The Breakdown:

• Originality within style (16): Not real inventive, but I think an American ale yeast is being used instead of the norm.
• Nose (15): Not much – smells like malt. Okay.
• Mouthfeel (18): Full and viscous – perhaps the best part of this beer.
• Character (16): So so. A gentle toasted malt, and that’s all. I could drink a lot of it, which is cool I guess…
• Overall Quality (17): It’s in a can, which is awesome. This would be a good beer pong beer.
• Total (82): A middle-of-the-road ESB With no offensive qualities.
