Mar 13, 2008 Poured a hazy golden orange color. I loved the smell of this one. Very sweet and funky, like an orange on the verge of rotting! Taste was very bitter and hoppy, with a lingering aftertaste of funk.

Feb 27, 2008 a decent ESB, has a distinct English malt character. Certainly damp kilned malts and a soft carbonation and quite clear copper brew. Nice spicy hop character with a fair amount of bitterness, pretty decent.

Feb 10, 2008 Oct. 2006 - Another good one from Anderson Valley! Beer poured orange with decent head and lacing. Aroma was bready and citrusy. The flavor was sweet bread malts, citrusy hops, a touch of caramel and a slight grassiness in the end. Very pleasant and easy drinking!

Jan 30, 2008 Vigerous pour into an English Pint, results in a perfectly cloudy amber/orage color, and a nice one-finger head. Aroma is dominated by foral and citrus scents. The flavor is pedestrian (citrus/floral), and finishes dry. Additionally, this one contains almost none of the bitterness of a proper ESB. Palate isn’t horrible, but not as smooth or creamy as I prefer. I’d say its more of an American Pale, than an ESB. I won’t be stocking the fridge wtih this one.

Jan 22, 2008 A dirty amber apple cider color with very little to no head. A very fruity bready aroma with a hint of bitterness, but not a whole lot. A tasty toffee malty flavor. Doesn’t have much bitterness at all, just a hint at the end. Has decent body from the carbonation.

Jan 12, 2008 Another Anderson Valley winner-this something between their undrinkable IPA and their subtle, session beer, Boont amber. Poured with an outstandingly beautiful, large head. Aroma of blackberry leaf, tangerine skins & alcohol. This is a sweet beer! Candy sweet, in fact, with fruity guava overtones changing to pine-cones. Seems dry-hopped. Sticky, thick palate might be the weakest element. Otherwise a great drink.
