Beer 103 - Anderson Valley Boont ESB


October 20, 2011
Anderson Valley Boont ESB
Bought at Trader Joe's in Camarillo, drunk in the Residence inn, camarillo on July 14th, 2010. A blast from the past since i mistakenly bought a bottle of Tecate for tonights beer and that was beer 79.
The bottle says: Boont ESB is one of the finest examples of the craft brewers art. The generous amonts of malted barley are offset by four separate additions of Pacific Northwest hops. This combination creates a masterpiece in balance between the ambrosial sweetness of the malt and the exquisite bite and savory fragrance of the spicy hops. This satiating brew is not for the " light beer drinker" To fully appreciate the Extra Special Beer the best flavors are realized at 45-52 deg F. Enjoy with fine cheese, a well seasoned meal or simply by itself. So I enjoyed it by itself. Slight bitteness from the hops is on the top of the tongue, easy to drink, well balanced but more of beer to drink with a snack to accentuate the flavors.
