Sep 13, 2009 Cask, Griffin, Carlisle. Quite malty and mellow, but with a tangy hop character in the background. Amber appearance, zesty palate, slightly acrid aftertaste, towards the end.

Sep 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours lightish copper with a very little off-white head that’s barely there but does leave a bit of lacing. Nose mainly consists of malt and spicy yeast with a bit of caramel and whisky in the background. Flavour is also quite malty and hoppy with hints of caramel and spice but considering the aroma, the flavour is quite restrained, even a little thin. All in all quite a nice beer, very sessionable.

Aug 29, 2009 Bottled (from Utobeer, batch 015, BB 06/2010).
Deep amber, a bit hazy color, small white head. Nose has some caramel malt and fruity hoppyness, also hints of metal. Pale malty, biscuity flavor with caramel and some citrus-fruity hops in the finish. Some late bitterness. Clean, but boring as the most amber ales are.

Aug 22, 2009 Good head that leaves chunky lace. Slightly hazy; light amber color.
Fresh hoppiness; light, dry malt.
Creamy malt start that gives way to a solid amount of hop. Classic ESB. Smooth body but it’s still spritzy. Great malty finish, although it is short lived. The aftertaste leaves some mildly bitter hop. An above average ESB.
