A bomber of the 2006 brewer’s reserve. Very good and well malted ESB. Its for sipping and sharing. Golden amber colour. Smooth.Hoppy and piney aroma. This is a mix of hops, and while citrus, there is some British hop in here. Refreshing.Drying finish

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.

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

Bottle: Pours to mostly clear copper-orange body with a medium tan head. The aroma is mild hops, citrus, and light lemon. Taste is mild lemon, bitter grass, floral hops - more west-coast hops style than I was expecting for an ESB (though I guess why not, right?).
