A real pretty copper color with a firm and lasting head. Nice aroma. Malty with sweet, fruity hops, and some biscuit. Flavor has a lot of that fruitiness but pulls the sweetness back, which is nice. Some malts and spices round out the flavor. Finishes rather bitter and lasting. Body is a little more carbonated than I would like, but it’s not bad. I found this to be highly refreshing and really enjoyed the crisp hoppy flavor. I’d go through a few of these in a night.

Nov 14, 2009 A: Poured with a small head and really no lacing at all. Body is an amber color and hazy.
S: A little on the weak side, the bitterness still comes through with some slight malt in there as well.
T: The malt comes through light sweet at first, and then finishes moderately bitter with an average duration.
M: Medium-bodied with a fairly oily texture, and soft carbonation.
D: A decent bitter, but nowhere near one of my favorites.

Oct 8, 2009 Ontap @Dick’s. Good bitter. True to style. But I would not call an ESB, but an english bitter.

Mar 20, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark gold with a medium creamy off-white head. Has a smooth palate with a nice mild bitter finish. Good sweetness but thin in body. Great lacing. At the midpoint I taste green apples and it has a long bitterness on the tongue.
