Life On Tap # 310: Moderance (Wild East Brewing Company Moderance - English-style Pub Ale/Extra Special Bitter/ESB)

Dan waxes nostalgic with Wild East Brewing Company Moderance, an English pub ale, as his eighteenth beer from the NYS Craft Beer Box.

Wild East Brewing Company Moderance

STYLE: English Pale Ale (Extra Special Bitter – ESB)
ABV: 5.4%
IBU: 40
AVAILABILITY: 16-Ounce cans, Draft

Stats above taken from the brewery’s can, website, and Untappd.

Appearance

Burnt orange in color with a creamy, white head.

Aroma

Fruity and earthy esters hit first with an herbal hop note.

Taste

Breadiness and fruitiness from the malt meats the earthy and herbal notes form hops, finishing slightly bittersweet.

Mouthfeel

Medium body with a soft mouthfeel and it coats the palate.

Overall

English pub fare all the way like Shepherd’s Pie or you can go with a burger as well. This brew was so nostalgic for me, as English styles are amongst those that began my exploration into beer. I could definitely see myself having a couple of these while watching some soccer or at happy hour after a long day of work.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
