Aug 16, 2005 Golden amber with a respectable poofy head. Nice light hop aroma. Very yummy balanced goodness ... mellow yet fruity hops and crisp caramel malt. I adore beers along these lines ... this is very, very good.

Jan 23, 2005 Color is a nice golden orange with a medium ivory cap of whipped froth. It has steady bubbles within the glow of the body and the cap keeps a good steady weight on top which hardly ever moves from its seat. Lacing is in thin broken sheeting.
Aroma is quite nice here with a pleasant diplay of fresh herbal hops with a twist of citrus and a great biscuit bread backing thats clean and crisp. Notes akin to a musky burnt popcorn as it nears the bottom of the glass.
Taste has a clean profile with a mild brigade of hoppyness bringing in some floral tones, citrus, and slight herbal woodyness. The malt backing of biscuit malts is super nice, very crisp and earthy with a lingering kinda burntness and grain husks. Nice finisher. Well rounded and balanced. A very good taster bordering the aspects of some Pale ales with a nice Vienna twist of grains thrown in.
Feel is quite clean, quick but flavorful, slides right down with an excellent finish. I could, and probably will, drink alot of these. A super session beer ’tis true.

Feb 16, 2006 Excellent beer, far exceeding expectations. Pours a great hazy orange with a very sticky head. Aroma is remrkable hops and honey malt. Flavor is hoppy for an ESB, but I think it balances enough with a honey sweet finish. Great creamy, silky mouthfeel.

Jan 23, 2006 This beer pours a glossy burnt orange, I poured softly and still put forth a thick 2 in head beige in color. The aroma is fruity, the smell is grapey a similar smell to the fermentation room in a winery with a bitter aspect. The taste is good, clean, light carbonation. The feel on the palate is tannic mildy bitter but balanced with a caramel malty sweetness that finishes mildy. Great beer fantastic style.

Aug 15, 2005 Full in body, flavor, and aroma, this is one very nice ESB. Glad it’s now available in these parts. Assertive hop aroma (mildly grassy), sweet and lightly caramel-like malt backbone with a fruity nose. I could make this a regular in my domicile.

May 10, 2006 Beautiful copper color; giant head, too much… fermentation? Some aroma of hop, light yeast. Malty taste; medium body structure; toffee; very good hop flavor and bitterness. Very good.
