Jan 1, 2007 Poured a deep copper color with a moderate white head. Biscuity malt flavors dominate the aroma, but a nice hop aroma lingers in the background. Medium-bodied. The imperial ESB is an nteresting concept, since you start leaning towards strong pale ale territory, but they stick with the ESB concept here - the hops are in the background but play a supporting role (I can see hopheads thinking "Why not just crack an IPA?"). If nothing else, this is a very nice strong session brew.

Jan 1, 2007 Dark clear beautiful amber with a big off-white head. Aroma is citrusy and sweet, while taste is rather dry and bitter with hops outweighing the malt. $2/12oz

Dec 29, 2006 Dark and clear copper pour. Off-white, diminishing head. Big hop aroma — grapefruit, citrus, pine, flowers. Moderate nose of sweet caramel and a slight earthiness. The flavor is heavily bitter with some sweetness underneath. Full body and plenty of carbonation. Thick texture, sticky for a moedrately long, dry finish. Very enjoyable.

Dec 28, 2006 A beautiful pour. A little bit too malty. Usualy a beer seems to get hoppier as it warms, this one somehow seemed to get maltier as it warmed. Maple syrup, brown sugar, and some overall lackluster flavors. i wasn’t impressed with this brew. A nice deep orange-brown color with a fluffy white head that goes away pretty quickly.

Dec 27, 2006 Bottle from Sam’s Blue Light. Pours a deep amber with a half inch thick off-white head. Fresh, fruity and earthy hoppy aroma. Taste is similar, almost like an ipa, but it ends with a sweet malt that balances it out very nicely. Alcohol is evident but not highly noticeable. A fine beer from an up and coming brewery.

Dec 24, 2006 Poured a clear brownish amber. The nose was hoppier than I expected, as was the other Clip City ale I had (loose cannon). Woh, a lot more bittr than I expected, too. Not very smooth, but that’s OK. Medium character. Sweet maltiness is pretty subtle. Overall, a slightly better than average brew.
