Member Notes: 

This is definitely one of the lighter Firestone Walkers, with a caramel-colored body and a white head. It has a sweet, almost chlorine-like aroma, clean and light. The flavor is unique, with a definite English characteristic that's nit quite nutty, not quite sugary, but... Maybe it is... Much like sugar cane. It's light, but thick, and light enough to seem airy and will make you belch if you drink it fast enough. A great ESB, easy, not offensive at all, and finishes well balanced and clean. 7 3 7 4 15 A- - Noss


Club & Brewer Notes: 

A British Pale Ale never tasted so fresh. We challenge our good friends across the pond to match this one. Can't be done. We've honored the traditions of the great British Pale brewers of Burton-on-Trent using our patented Firestone Union oak barrels. You're left with a mild blend of vanilla and toasted oak flavor touched with an elegant hint of English noble hops. DBA is the flagship of our company and wildly popular
