Bottle. Sweet caramelly malt characters, with a touch of slightly piney, slightly aromatic hops. Not a whole lot else to report. Has a fairly straight forward flavour, easy to drink, but maybe a little dull.

12 oz. bottle from Shoreline. Drank on 8/1/06. Slightly cloudy. Sort of darker copper. 1 cm. bubbly looking light tan head. Drops quickly to a thin layer of foam. No lacing. Aroma - not too strong, but there. Mostly grapefruity / orangy citrus. A little bit of lingering sweetness. Flavor - high level of up front bitterness. Sort of watered down tasting with a little bit of a sour / grapefruit like flavor. Flavor is more pronounced in and after the swallow - grapefruit, sour, tart, and dry. Palate - light, higher level of carb., and a little watery. Overall - not a great beer. Doesn’t taste at all like an ESB, more like a messed up APA. Way too much grapefruit / citrus flavor, a little tart. Thin body, high carb. Way too much hops. Props for being organic, I guess.

(bottle) Nice copper color but very little head. Faint malt/hops aroma. Body a bit thin. Taste is caramel malt, hint of hops, a bit soapy.

This is my first Lakefront beer. The Caboose in Ashland had received its first shipment. this is the organic version of an ESB. This is not so bitter beer. The heads is white foam with some lacing. The copper color was very attractive. It is a drinkable beverage but not special. It had a light body. It just is not a beer I would seek out. I had another on 10/12. Still no change in my comments. It does have a sweet taste that I did not note last time.

Bottle-Cooper color with a small head. The taste and aroma was overwhelming caramel, which I happen to like. However, there was no carbonation at all, so all of the caramel taste felt sticky. Bonus point for organic.

Slightly hazy amber body with a small white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Sweet caramel and mild floral hops flavor.
