Examples from GABF Winners List 2019

Gold Medal: ESB – Hillman Beer – Ashville, NC

ABV – 6.1 %

Notes: Toasty and nutty with a bit of caramel malt character, firm hop bitterness, but very well balanced. Also won Silver in 2018.


Silver Medal: Bridgeview – Henderson Brewing Co. – Henderson, KY

ABV – 5.6 %

Notes: Don’t let the last word fool you, this beer is anything but bitter. A wonderful earthy spicy nose greets you followed by a distinct malt forward flavor produced by the Maris Otter Malt used.
