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.

22oz bomber: This was a surprise. I’ve never been a fan of their IPA, but this I like. Malty and sweet with that yummy American hop flavor.

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
