Apr 19, 2009 Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear medium brown color with a large head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel and leafy hops. Taste is bitter earthy hops, caramel and the faintest off note in the finish. Medium bodied.

Apr 5, 2008 Draft. Pours reddish/brown with a beige head. Fairly aromatic for Cally’s, I got some potpourri, sweet malt, and the slightest notion of hops. Body is a bit sweet (as are most of Cally’s brews) with some decent hops on the finish to balance. Another solid brew from Cally’s.

Nov 11, 2007 Growler. Deep amber with offwhite head. Really fresh aromas of toasty grain and earhty, piney hops. Flavor is well balanced between lightly sweet grainy malt and bitter, grassy hops. Medium bodied, fairly creamy, with a bit of a lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. A real delight, one of the better offerings I’ve had from Cally’s, and probably the best batch of the ESB I’ve had. Can’t believe I hadn’t rated this one!

Nov 6, 2007 On Draft @ Cally’s. Pours an off reddish color with a lemon/pine hop nose. Much milder bitterness than expected. Grassy dry flavor but very good and a beautiful example of hop balance. Best beer I have had @ Cally’s yet.

Jul 17, 2006 Clear copper body with an ok. Slightly malty aroma, not a lot of hops. Caramel in the flavor is reminiscent of the Amber, but not quite as big. Hops show up in the finish in a moderate bitterness. Fairly tasty.
