Mar 3, 2008 Cask, alehouse. Pours a deep amber color with a nice compact, cask-aled white head. Aroma is fruity, floral hops perfectly integrated with a nice deep maltiness underneath. Everything about this beer is nicely balanced, including the aroma. Taste is sweet yet bitter, fruity and hoppy though strongly malty. Very nice creamy mouthfeel. Drinkability is extremely high - I could drink this all night. The cask fits this beer extremely well. Great.

Mar 27, 2007 Draft at Smokehouse. Poured clear dark amber hue with an average frothy off-white head that Mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate aroma of citrus hops and malt. Medium body. Well balanced flavor of malt and hops with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. This is a standout ESB brew.
