Dec 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a thick rapidly deflating head, over a clear brown with golden tones body....nose slightly sour, with later mild malts then hop aromas....tastes of the usual malts then hop finish...nice balance but over all rather light. Was it a bad bottle??

Dec 3, 2008 Sample from November 21, 2008 beer club meeting. Dark amber color, very nice, but small head. Malty aroma. Sweet... almost of raisins. Flavor is hoppy, strong and punchy for an ESB.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy red-brown with a decent, frothy, sticky, light tan head that lasts. Taste is of grapefruit, citrus, malt, pine and hops. A little sweet, but has nice bitter finish. Aroma is much the same. Well balanced, very easy to drink and quite pleasant. Overall, an enjoyable brew that is worth having time and time again.

Nov 27, 2008 Updated: Aug 9, 2009(bottle - 12 oz) Dark amber color with a huge amount of tan head. Aroma is light, malty, and slightly sweet with just the slightest hint of hops at the end. Flavor is hoppy at the beginning with a nice citrus sweetness mixed in. The middle is smooth and malty with a lightly sweet finish that has a good hint of caramel mixed with the citrus and the hops. Not too bad, but not very well balanced. The malts take over near the end.

Nov 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours red with a beige head. The aroma has malty sweetness, hops, and a light vegetal quality, that thankfully doesn’t show up in the flavor. Sweet malty flavor, a bit toasty, with some earthy hops. Nice.
