Jul 18, 2007 Pours and amber body with a quickly descending head. Normal fruity aroma. The first thing you realize while drinking this beer is how thick-bodied it is. Then you wonder why it has the taste of a dubbel or european strong lager (I am not sure what that taste is, but I know those two varieties have it). Maybe it is the Belgian hops? It is kind of on the bitter side of things and a bunch of hops hop about. Interesting.

Jul 17, 2007 Clear gold with a good, white head. Both the malt and the hops were robust. Full mouth-feel. Nice lasting flavor with a mellow hop aftertaste. Very well balanced. A very good ESB

Jul 6, 2007 Nice aroma of citrus hops and a bready sweatness. Pours an amber color, with almost no head. Starts with a taste of toast, followed by citrus bitterness with a hint of sweetness. A very drinkable beer.

Jun 12, 2007 Golden-amber with a light caramel malt aroma plus a bit of citrusy hops. Taste was a nice malty-caramel flavor with just enough citrus hop sweetness. Better than expected for FF - much better than their Pale ale.

May 5, 2007 Tap. Strong malt aroma with light sweet cherry tones. Reddish amber color with small head. Sweet malt and moderate piney hops flavor and high carbonation. Nicely blended. A nice easy drinking beer.

Mar 20, 2007 Pours a translucent golden amber with an average foamy off white head that left nice lacing. Aroma of some caramel malt, kind of bready with a light citrus hop profile. Flavor was well rounded with a light hop sweetness, some graines, cereal, bread and then some mellow citrus hop lemony flavor. Light bitterness. A well made ESB, a style I’m not a huge fan of but that I can appreciate as a well rounded session beer.
