Nov 15, 2009 This was a great example of a ESB. Nice malty body that was sweet but well balance bitter. A little bit of oat creamyness with slightly floral green hop taste.

Jan 28, 2009 On tap at the Green Dragon. Pours deep amber, good clarity, smooth white head. Floral hop nose, citrus hops and a slight earthiness to them. Caramel malts up front, bready and a soft fruity note. Nice solid sessionable brew with a good hop nose.

Apr 2, 2008 This is a really promising brewery and they made a great beer out of a style I find often to be a bit bland at most times. Cask Conditioned... Poured dark red with a soapy, white head. Not much aroma, just some faint malt. Smooth and bread like hops that give way to mild malt and a soapy aftertaste.

Mar 27, 2008 On tap at HUB. Poured a brilliant amber with light tan head. Decent bitterness but could stand more for the style, but my palate may have been blown by that point. A solid ESB.

Jul 28, 2008 sampler @ brewery - light amber and clear; aromas of mainly sweet malts are on the weak side; flavors similarly follow with some caramel in there; mildly bitter and easy drinking; as per most sampled, nothing outstanding but generally solid

May 1, 2009 On tap at brewpub. Nice amber pour with a small white head. Aroma is very hoppy, mostly floral but with some earthy and citrus notes as well. Taste is well balanced between malt and those hops, with a nice bitter snap of a finish. Solid and very sessionable.
