Nice clear copper with an off white head that lasted a few minutes. An intital maly sweetness quickly followed by floral hop flavors and bitterness that lasts well into the finish. Needs a little more malt character and feel in my opinion, but a very nice ale indeed.

Aug 18, 2008 Bottle at GBBF 08. Copper clear colour. Overly peppery hoppy beer. Candy sugar sweet aroma too. Cor, that’s just a bit empty and not great. Too bitter.

Aug 16, 2008 Filled with malt and hops. Hits you right away, with the aroma and taste. Nothing spectacular. Hoppy bite and lingering aftertaste. Alrighty then

Aug 14, 2008 bottle, labeled "belk’s ESB" - Pours amber with a one finger head. It smells of caramel malt and plenty of hops. The flavor is strong on the citrus hops, but balanced by the sweet caramel. It’s hoppier than most ESBs and very west coast. Fortunately I like that in a beer. Very enjoyable.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle at GBBF ’08, under the Belk’s name. Dark gold with a small off white head. Hoppy aroma and strong, sweet bitter taste. Lots of fizz. Like it. This was my #100 US beer, so that is my third national century after England and Belgium.
