Mar 10, 2008 Bottle: Poured a clear deep copper color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of English bitter dry hops is dominating. Taste is a mix between some light caramel malt with some English dry hops. Medium body with some average carbonation. A bit over the op for the style but still enjoyable and easily drinkable.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle. Orange pour with tons of little floaties and a HUGE fluffy off-white head that leaves chunks of lace. Aroma of mandarin oranges, orange peels, grapefruits, flowers and hints of pumpkin spices. Taste is very subdued and definitely not anywhere near as bitter as I would’ve expected. Pretty well-balanced actually. Plenty of sweet malts with a tangy, bitter hoppy finish. I picked this up as an afterthought but this is damn good and vastly underrated.

Mar 5, 2008 bottle poured an amber in color with a nice thick light tan frothy head and steady carbination. aromas of malt, fruited bitter hops, and minerals. mouth feel is medium light but has some chewiness. flavor is malted, mildly bitter, some sharp hops, minerals, and back round sweetness. certainly an easy beer to drink. lemon peels and fruit come forward as it warms adding to the sharp hops. bitterness level is just right for this brew.

Feb 17, 2008 Pours a dark golden color with a lot of particulate. Aroma is citrus, some spice, and malts. Taste is caramel, a hint of ginger, woody, a bit of citrus and malts. Different.......not sure if in a good way or bad way.

Feb 12, 2008 Smells a little like mild slag. Rather bitter initially, but not over the top. A little rubbery at times. Weirdly savory! Looks like darker ginger ale. Rubber palate carries over to the finish.

Feb 10, 2008 Citrus and spicy nose. Honey orange color. mild resiny bitterness. Decent malt balance, could be a little sweeter. Good body, pillowy head. A solid ESB

Feb 2, 2008 Pours a slightly fogged amber with a brownish tint to it. Nice crème head. Nose is a bit woody and leafy with that typical sweet tone to it. Flavor is pretty deep in wood and leaf as well, but it seems a bit harsh. Kind of like the edges are not rounded off enough. Feel is thick on the body and with a pretty full carbonation. Overall this is an okay ESB. I have tried a lot recently, and this one doesn’t really stand out to me.
