Jul 19, 2007 bottle - Pours copper with a 2 finger head. The hoppy aroma has some mild grapefruit notes. This moderately bitter brew is well balanced with caramel malts. Medium bodied with a nice bite that leads into the bitter finish, this is an aggressive ESB. I don’t think Avery does "mild". Nice quaff.

Jul 19, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours a transparent copper color with a nice white head. Good lacing left down the entire glass. Aroma is very balanced, malty sweetness, honey, with a little bitter hop bite underneath. Nice smell. Taste is smooth, sweet, honey, balanced with a subtle hop flavor mixed in as well. Very drinkable. Nothing out of the ordinary but just about all I could want from the style. A little underrated I think.

Jul 15, 2007 Bottle. Pours sparkling orange with a small fizzy white head, somewhat lasting, fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, cereal, meal), average hops (herbs, grass), average yeast (sweat) with notes of apple and butter. Light bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Jul 14, 2007 Amber orange with a off white head. Aroma has hops, malts, straw. Spicy hoppy bitter taste and end! Body is a bit thin. But almost surprisingly schocked over how bitter this beer is. And still - its well balanced! Nice ESB!

Jul 10, 2007 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden-brass color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was sweet grapefruit with a light piney element. The flavor was dry and malty with a subdued fruity hop presence and a light floral hop note. Surprisingly well balanced. Tasty.
