 Elwood (647), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
Aug 31, 2009 Serving: Draft.
Appearance: Hazy, deep amber with a froathy, white head. Left great lacing.
Aroma: Very light nose that on first inspection makes me think this is dry hopped. A little earthy grass note along with light caramel and cracker notes from the malt.
Taste: Caramel, bready, some earthiness, and a mild hop bitterness that is a little floral and grassy. Nothing truly amazing here.
Palate: Medium-low carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. Short finish.
Overall: Okay, but not all that memorable.
Rebuy: Nah.

Jun 29, 2009 Draft at the downtown location. Another pretty tasty but not particularly memorable brew. At least these styles go well with pizza, as compared to something huge that would overwhelm.

Jun 20, 2009 Draft @ the brewery. Pours a dark amber with an off-white head. Grainy, caramel aroma with moderate citrus hops. More of the same in flavor, bready, slightly nutty, mild sweetness, caramel and a fairly bitter backbone and finish. Med mouthfeel, nice carbonation.

Oct 30, 2008 Hazy dark amber pour with HUGE ’frog eye’ off white head. Sweet malt aroma. Grainy, malty, and cascade flavor. Wasn’t a real big fan of this one.

Jun 3, 2008 This ESB pours a medium copper color from the tap at the brewpub. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is bready and malty, touch of hops. A medium bodied ESB. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are earthy and floral, but kind of subdued. Could use a little more bitterness. Nice carbonation. Good balance. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
