Jul 27, 2008 Bottle thanks to kegbear. Very very citrus. Incredible taste of malt that has a definite fruit hops taste. This beer is delicious. I would definitely buy this one again

Jul 22, 2008 Growler from AleSmith Brewery in San Diego. Anvil is dark and rich flavored for an ESB, but very easy to drink with only moderate hop bitterness. It has a bit of sweetness overall, but is not cloying. Just a great, fresh, perfect brew to share on a warm summer evening.

Jul 13, 2008 Bomber, thanks doubleo! Pours a light reddish with a good-sized white head. Nice hops with some malt balance in the aroma. This is just a well-balanced drink. Neither the bitterness nor the malty sweetness overpowers, they’re just superbly well-balanced. I really enjoyed this one, and I’d love to see more beers like this widely distributed. Another Alesmith beer that it’s too bad (or maybe good) I can’t get more regularly, cuz I’d drink a LOT of it.

Jul 8, 2008 Sample at San Diego Brewing Company. This beer is a clear bright amber color with a medium thin off-white that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. The aroma is malty with some fruit and hops in the background. Medium body with equal parts malt and hops flavor. Spice and fruit notes as well. The finish is sweet malt at first with mild hops left over. Not bad overall. but I expected more from Alesmith.

Jul 4, 2008 On draft at San Diego Brewery. I was not overly impressed with this beer. My first impression was literally of cardboard. Very average in my opinion.

Jun 22, 2008 22 oz Bomber-Dark ruby red color w/a moderate tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Roasted malt flavor w/traces of biscuit, caramel, toffee, cane sugar, & some dark fruit. Long finish w/just the right touch of bitterness. Solid brew, found it to be similar to thier Wee Heavy.

Jun 16, 2008 Bomber. Pours orange with a very large white fluffy head. Looks highly carbonated. Good head retention. Aroma is surprisingly fruity. Strong fruitiness, a yeasty fruitiness and not so much a hop fruitiness. A lot of esters. Raisins. Some malt and subtle hops are noticeable underneath but the yeast is what really takes from and center. Same deal with the flavor. High level of fruitiness. Sweet and sour sauce. I prefer less esters for this style. It was to the point where it was muting the hops and malt. All right but a let down considering how much I dig all their other beers.
