Aug 30, 2008 Pours a lovely copper with a inch worth of creamy foam. Aroma is fruity esters, sweet caramel malt and light hop. Flavor is initially faintly bitter that yields to ample fruity notes, sweet malt, caramel & toffee. Finishes fairly clean. Moderate body and overall a pleasant & balanced brew.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle (in NZ), a clear amber with a creamy white head. A standard ESB earthy malt aroma, only hints of caramal and fruit. More roasted malt character on the palate, nutty, with quite a bit of caramal sweetness. Moderate bitterness in the finish

Aug 18, 2008 "Bomber" from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. Nice amber color with a multifinger beige head. Aromas of lightly roasted caramel and fruity/floral hop. Medium+ body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted caramel and fruit - a bit tart like green apple. Somewhat nutty. Finishes quite dry. Leaves a spicy feeling on the tongue. Gotta love it.

Aug 14, 2008 500 ml. Clear copper with a lasting half-inch of creamy foam and Jack Frost all over the glass. Typical earthy-spiced caramel apple aroma. Initial flavor follows the aroma with slightly more apple and some oak. Finish turns to a pleasantly bitter toasted pecan nut and oak wood. Light-medium body is smooth and soft, with some hop tingle and a nice dry finish.
