Our ESB is aggressive and balanced, both in alcohol and hop character, but nothing overpowering. Our color range leans towards the copper end of the scale due to the use of Maris Otter pale malt. Low carbonation. Malts tend to be more pronounced, often toasty and fruity. And despite "bitter" being in its name, ESBs are not really all that bitter. They key to McHenry County ESB is balance.
