Day 446: AleSmith Anvil Ale

My thought process for today's post:

Insanely busy at work...cartoon Marci running furiously and not getting anywhere...Wile E. Coyote's ACME Co. anvil falls on my head...Alesmith Anvil ale.

Impressed, aren't you?

Lucky for me, this Anvil much more tasty than headache inducing.  It's brewed by AleSmith Brewing Company and is an extra special bitter. Extra special bitter is quickly becoming one of my top beer styles. Anvil is AleSmith's flagship beer. It was the first one they brewed!

This one poured a lovely chestnut brown without any haziness. It had a full tan head and a sweet malt aroma. The flavor is a mildly bitter hop with roasty malts and hints of orange tea.
