"A very nice balanced flavor of hops and malt. The hops take stage first, but the sweetness of the caramel flavors tones it down quite a bit. Toasted malt really comes to life as well on the finish...."

Smells and looks like Honker's Ale, but once it hits the palate the differences stand out like a brewer without a beard. 25th Anniversary has an interesting citrus note that we have never experienced in an ESB before, as well as a touch of sweetness. Overall, it is much more hoppy and bitter than Honker's, as well as just about any other so called ESB that has ever hit our lips.
