Jun 17, 2005 Orange, no, red, no, copper - I carry the glass around the house - it seems to keep changing color. Nice medium sized, long lasting head and it leaves rings of lace around the glass. Some sweetness in the aroma, but mostly a citrus/woody hop, smells fresh. Body is not very thick, sweet caramel malt, hops are somewhat spicy and grapefruit - a little more hoppy than I expected. Good stuff!

Jun 12, 2005 Golden-amber colour. Soapy, piney/thymey hop aroma. Moderately hoppy amber ale with woody, toasty notes, and an even balance. Style Police Ruling: an ESB should not be made with such a clean yeast...this is an amber ale. But as argo0 rightly points out, no complaints. It’s a good session beer.

Jun 8, 2005 (12oz bottle, bottled 2nd week in March) Big, frothy beige head atop a clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, citrus, caramel, light pineapple. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, citrus, light earthy, finishing pine/grapefruit. Medium body. Not quite as smooth as I expect from an ESB, seems more an APA, but no complaints.

Jun 7, 2005 Nice clear amber with a dense, fluffy white head. Caramel and floral hops in the nose. Flavor has notes of toffee, caramel, grapefruit/citrus, light pepper and pine. Moderately sweet, finish has plenty of hop bitterness. Medium creamy body with lively carbonation. Lacing hangs on the glass in sheets, great head retention. Nice beer.
