Decent, full of rich caramel and toffee maltiness. Floral hoppiness that turns to bitterness in the finish, with a small amount of light fruitiness. Well balanced, easy to drink.

A true pacific northwest beer, full of hops and intersting flavours. Hops balance malt and alcohol.

As far as I know, this beer is only available at the brewery, on tap. It’s an exquisite beer--bright hop notes are married perfectly with the slight malt sweetness and Full Sail yeast. It’s fairly hoppy for an ESB, but I’d call it a near-perfect beer. My favorite beer from my favorite brewery.

I like all of Full Sails beers, this is an excellent beer, hoppy, good malts and a real stand up taste.
