Bottle... Hazy, deep amber ale with a huge, rocky, off-white head. Decent retention. Rich butter and caramel fill the nose intoxicatingly along with lesser notes of citrus fruit and brown sugar. The sweet, malty flavor is all about caramel, although there are traces of American iced tea, dry sherry and clover honey. Medium-bodied and very creamy with soft carbonation. Lengthy, cotton candy finish. There’s no balance here; it’s all about the malt. Being a bit of a malt head, I love it!

Honey and sour fruit aroma and flavor. A bit woody at times, and a decent, average beer.

Copper colored body with a modest light beige head. The aroma is predominantly butterscotch with a dusting of herbal bitterness. Medium bodied, some caramel flavoring with a stronger earthy bitterness that lasts into the finish, along with a return of a slightly soured butterscotch. Odd.

Lightly hazed dark amber color with a taller beige head. Very light aromas of pale malt and floral hops, some hints of licorice. Mild caramel and more flowers in the flavor along with a touch of herbage as well. Almost to strong in the herbal department.as they stick to the back of the throat. Glad I’m no allergic to ragweed.

Bottle. Dark amber with huge frothy off-white head. Average hoppy aroma with sweet tone. Light body. Short duration flavor with light bitter finish. Good but average to style.

Grapefruit, orange blossom and caramel in the hoppy nose. Clear amber coloured body with low, white, fully diminishing head. Grapefruit and oranges in the strong citrus hop flavour with underlying sweet caramel character and fair finishing bitterness. Medium-light body with decent carbonation. On tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor, MI.

Little head on top of a beautiful copper colored brew. Smells of malts and bananas. This is a typical ESB taste with peaches and malts. One of the best US made bitters I have had.
