Jan 12, 2008 A surprisingly good beer that pours from the bottle to a slightly cloudy orange red with good carbonation and a thick off-white head that lingers well and leaves good lacing. Arojma is a complex mix of hoppy citrus fruit with a touch of malty dark fruit. Mouthfeel is a full bodied beer, that starts out tingly and ends up slightly bitter. Flavor follows the nose perfectly and the finish is well rounded, and a little on the dry bitter side, although not much for an ESB. Most surprising was the amount of alcohol that crept in at late glass, as the beer warmed.
A very enjoyable beer.

Dec 31, 2007 Bomber. Poured haze amber with thick lasting white head. Mild floral aroma. Malty full body with some hoppiness, right for a bitter or pale ale. Lingering bitterish finish.

Dec 11, 2007 bottle. Hazy amber color. Lemon/orange flavor hits you at first, then the hops really kick in. If you are a hop-head, this beer is for you. I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy this beer, but I wouldn’t turn it down either.

Dec 8, 2007 Clear amber bottle pour with good sized head. Aroma is light and grainy with some citrus. Flavor is well balanced between the hops and malt with a nice dry and hoppy finish.

Nov 29, 2007 Amazing orangey head in my anti-gravity glass. Aroma C-hop, amarillo hop? Blind tasting English style ESB, orangey taste, drying and satisfying sweetish aftertaste. Great.

Nov 23, 2007 Pours with a cloudy tanish color. Fairly filmy head that clings to the glass with each sip. The aroma has more hoppiness and the taste has even more hoppiness than expected. This isn’t quite what I’d expect with an ESB...tastes more like an IPA. The lingering hop bitterness is not appearling
