Jan 14, 2009 color is orange and slightly translucent but still cloudy enough to draw intregue. aroma is of biscuit malt, spice, a touch esthery alcohol. mouthfeel is the winner here, which is where often inferior beers of the style fall short. spicy and effervescent, reminscent almost of a good marzen, the flavor lingers and coats just enough to keep this from the dilution often associated with some english pales and ESBs. a great solid and substantial beer.

Jan 7, 2009 Bomber. Pours burnt orange with a huge, creamy head. Aroma heavy on hops, citrus, orange peel, flowers, and candy sugar. Palate is nice and prickly, with a long finish. Flavor is satisfyingly bold, with a nice array of grapefruit, kumquat, and lemon. Very refreshing, and well brewed.

Dec 28, 2008 Bottle thanks to Gabe! Poured with nice frothy white head and orange/ amber in color. Taste is citrus, grass, and some floral hops. nice finish but a little too carbonated, other then that a nice ESB.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle at Holiday Alesmith tasting. Sweet nose. Nice strong amber color with a light fluffy head. As the beer settled the head became thick and creamy. Taste was malty and sweet. Hints of pineapple came out.

Dec 4, 2008 Clear orange-red pour with a thin white head. Lots of carbonation and nice lacing on the glass. Tropical fruity aroma - mango, pineapple. I had this on draft a the brewery. Not quite as good as the sample I had there. Similar flavor...Tropical fruits with roasty malt backbone. Dry and fruity. Smooth and easy to drink. Some hops to finish. Good session beer.
