Color was copper and had a tint of darkness to it. Soft aroma of hop as well as in the flavor. Small resemblance of honey with a decent amount of bitterness.

Some nice hop notes on this one. A decent interplay between malt sweetness and hop dryness. A respectable ESB.

A dark golden color with a light soft head. A little hop aroma but malts override. Hoppy at first with a malty note and some caramel and pepper in the back of the throat. A slightly bitter finish and oily palate.
