brewski519 (393), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA May 15, 2009 On tap this ESB poured a copper color with a thin head and minimal lacing. nose of earthy hops, malt and bicuit. Taste was very bitter with a decent malt and quality. Slightly fruity follow up. Decent brew. Dickinsonbeer (3434), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA May 2, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Light red with a thin head. Aroma is fruity esters, good English malt and yeast character with an herbal tea and slightly flowery hop presence. light caramel and toasted malts, moderate sweetness and a nice fruity ester profile- slight tea-like hops, and a clean finish. Got a bit boring though as it warmed and thinned out a bit. Meh. TaktikMTL (2739), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Apr 6, 2009 En fût. Verre de dégustation directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur d’houblon et de caramel. Apparence: La couleur est cuivrée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de caramel etd e noix avec une pointe d’houblons. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de céréales en arrière goût. (Rating #2300) dkachur (2313), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Mar 4, 2009 Served on tap at the brewery. Pours a clear copper color with a thin head. Malty aroma with heavy earthy hop notes and some caramel and nuts. Taste is bitter hops with nuts and caramel. Very dry and bitter. Medium bodied. StFun (535), Indiana, USA Feb 18, 2009 On draft. Pours an amber color with a thick white head. Fairly thin. Some hops in the aroma, and a little earthiness as well. Flavor is sort of flat, touches of malt and barley and hops. Not my favorite from this brewery. tjthresh (1746), Greenfield, Indiana, USA Feb 8, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Pours copper bordering on red with white head. Earthy hop nose with some bakery aromas. Mild malt and bitterness. A bit of berries in the finish. ucusty (1865), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Jan 31, 2009 Amber pour with garnet hues. Fluffy off white head and drippy lace. Caramel malts and a light twist of hops on the nose. Crisp clean flavor with some mild hop bitterness. Very decent for a style I personally find mediocre. Rogueone (506), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA Jan 19, 2009 Sample @ Foothills: Pours a red-amber hue. NIce and crisp, and very mildly bitter but not hoppy. It is almost as if the carbonation was responsible for the bitterness or something weird like that. No real flavor beyond just ’average’.
