Biddle_Brau (135), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Aug 21, 2008 Clear amber with nice white head. Caramel aroma. Low carbonation, caramel flavor finished dry. carboloader (300), Houston, Texas, USA Jul 13, 2008 On tap at the Bond st pub. I hesitated to try this one (not usually an ESB fan). Glad I tried it! Pours cloudy orange with a small white foamy head. Nothing offensive and everything is well balanced and smooth with a slight bitter finish. I could drink these all day. BlackDonald (1040), North Carolina, USA Apr 27, 2008 Super drinkable! Extremely well balanced, with a great bittersweet maltiness, and a light bit of fruitiness, assertive flavors on the palate. Would love to have some more of this. WeeHeavySD (1711), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Feb 13, 2008 1/1/08 with Bikesanbeer, and Deschutes was open even though we thought we it wouldn’t be open till the next day, 6th brewery of the trip. Pours orange with a bright white half finger head. Nose has bits of mlat and sweetness. Taste is pretty nice, with some rolling bitterness. fly (1238), austin, Tejas, USA Jan 3, 2008 If this is meant to be drunk pint after pint, they hit on a good formula. Simple yet affective. Proportionate results. Near minimum malt and hops (in respect to the many bing Cali, CO and other beers I’d been drinking of late) but in sufficient quantity and quality that it JUST WORKS.
