Jan 17, 2008 Light amber color with a large rocky off white head. Taste is fairly nice bitter esb. It lacks some nice flavors in the middle, but overall it’s pretty nice.

Jan 12, 2008 Not much like GD’s other beers. I think they made this one for people who wear a lot of spandex out in public. Not a bad beer though: hint of hops, malt and earthy flavor. Decent beer.

Jan 1, 2008 Feb. 2006 - I was digging it...not too bitter and nice and malty. Mouthfeel was nice and smooth. I could drink this every day. Nothing to knock me off my feet and say "wow", but a solid, well balanced, tasty brew. Not sure if it’s worth $9/sixer when I can get Flying Fish ESB, which is just as good, for at least $1.50/sixer less.

Dec 30, 2007 Biter beer with strong hoppy flavor and aroma. Not exceptional but like all the Great Divides I’ve had, I would drink it off the tap if I were in Denver

Dec 23, 2007 Bottle@Home. Very fruity American hops aroma. Light amber color, beige firm head, good lace. Sweet, fruity apples and grapes, floral, nice soft bitterness. Soft mouthfeel, light sticky, bit nasty bitter in the back of your throat. Flavorful and easy going.

Dec 19, 2007 I just bought this single at Total Wine in VA and didn’t know it was retired...brew date on bottle is Oct 2004...tried to pour the beer and the head is out of control....repoured (gently) and still the same, big mess...gold/orange color with some floaties (that don’t look like yeast)...gonna give it a try..... mellow aroma....I like the ESB style but this one has a musty taste ....and some good nice malt/nut goodness lingering in the background...may be that it doesn’t age well.....anyway its still better than most of the macros I spent years drinking

Dec 17, 2007 12oz bottle courtesy of performula. A spicey fruity bitter aroma. Hazy copper body with good head on pour. For an ESB like it that this one had more fruit flavor than the overpowering bitter and spice as most do. Enjoyable beer on the palate with a medium dry bitter aftertaste. Good Brew.
