Bottle. Pours cloudy amber with a beige. Sweet and hoppy nose with notes of caramel and blackberry. Medium body. Flavor is the same as the aroma. This beer did very little to impress me. It wasn’t bad though.

Sep 5, 2008 Tap at The Sunswick. Poured a medium amber with a light white head. The nose was hoppy and slightly sour. Mouthful was creamy with a decent hop flavor and balanced malts. Malts dominated the finish.

Sep 5, 2008 If you are going to make beer - why bother settling for mediocre, ho-hum, nothing going on bland crappers like this one? Why bother? Donate the grain to starving Africans? Use the hops to ornamental ground coverage. Plain does not begin to describe this drink. Apart from a stellar appearance - it is like vanilla ice cream minus the vanilla flavoring. Just dull. Maybe a little buttery and sour, very little malt flavor. Virtually no hop presence. Not bad. Not good. Just Nice bottle art.

Sep 3, 2008 Pours hazy gold/copper with minimal carbonation. The aroma is an inviting honey smell- the malts come through too. The beer has a sweet, mellow taste to it and is much hoppier than most ESBs. Finishes mildly bitter. Very drinkable and enjoyable. A different ESB.

Sep 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. Medium amber color with almost no head, Fruity grain aroma. Grainy taste with a very bitter hop finish. Sticky feel. Not a favorite.

Aug 29, 2008 355 mL bottle. Copper-brown with a nice "rocky" head. The aroma definitely makes this an American ESB, with nothing but floral/citrus hops. The flavour is nice, with the floral hops and sweetish caramel malt. No bitterness ’til the end. Crisp. Very drinkable.
