Redhook ESB is a full-bodied amber ale. Brewed since 1987, and is Redhook's signature brew. It is modeled after the premium Extra Special Bitters found in English pubs. Redhook ESB is made with a careful blend of two-row Klages and Caramel barley malts and two hop varieties, Willamette and U.S. grown Tettnangs. It is copper colored and offers a complex balance between the bitterness of the hops and the sweetness of a heavier caramel malting.
