Copper color, medium off white head and lively carbonation constantly rising to the top - good looking. Initial sweet wheat aroma and orange that gives way to a cleansing tangy hop smell. Can the organic ingredients be the reason for such high marks in look and aroma? Will it carry over to taste? A tangy hop gives the tongue a fresh bitter flavor that then sweetens, giving this beer the opposite taste sensation than most ESB’s I tried. Palate is just right. This is the best Lakefront beer I tried. Clearly premium ingredients make a difference.

Pours to a dark golden color with a thin creamy off-white head with so-so lacing. Tons of visible carbonation. The aroma has floral and grass hops. Tons of bitter aroma. The flavor is nicely bitter. Nice toasted malts, some grains. Some light fruitiness. The palate is nicely smooth and creamy. Full bodied.

Amber/orange, slightly hazy with smallish sediment under huge and bubbly, lace-leavin’ tan. Sweet aromas, highly caramel with alot of fruit... cherry, raisin, some orange and vanilla. Flavor was SWEET with a capital S-W-E-E. I’m not sure what these other cats have been drinkin’, but I’m only getting a smidge of hops. Enjoying this while eating pistachios... it’s like a decadent little dessert. (AND... it was cheap.)

Bottle, first try. Color light orange-red, with big but quick-disappearing head; aroma incredible, with too many fruits bursting through to count (a few that stick: raspberry, grapefruit, cherryapple) plus a nice hint of caramel malt; flavor an excellent balance of flowery citrus & bitter hops with enough of the aforementioned sweet malts to give it body (though it could be just a bit thicker); finish is a little on the quick side. Overall, another fine product from one of the USA’s great unknowns.

This beer had a very unique malt nuttiness that was very enjoyable.
