This is one of the better US ESBs that I’ve had.
Copper, it has a medium, off-white head steadily shrinking to a thin wispy top with no real lacing.
The aroma is mild but very nice. It’s fruit-bread, light caramel, candied citrus peel, hints of pine, caramel, and pineapple.
The taste is similar with candied citrus peel, caramel, faintly sour light earthiness, a lightly spicey piney bitterness, and a bready finish. It’s light, perhaps a little too sweet and with a little too much of a candied fruit-caramel quality, but has persistent flavour, some complexity, and pretty good balance.

Oct 4, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced an amber body topped by a small tan head of foam. Aroma is mildly hoppy, and I mean mild, not much nose at all. Mildly carbonated with a malty sweetness, followed by a slight bitterness; fairly well balanced. Palate is uncomplicated and favors toward the hops with a slight bitter aftertaste. This is the second certified organic brew I have tried and have yet to be impressed.

Sep 25, 2008 bottle from total wine. nice amber pour wtih a small white head. The goodness stops at the sight of the beer. The aroma is grainy with some hops. flavor is muted hops and some malt. not worth seeking out at all.

Sep 15, 2008 Not crazy about it but it could be worse. Nice looking beer, malty nose, missing out on flavor though. All this crazy organic nonsense might have something to do with that. Wouldn’t get it again, but it’s aight.

Sep 14, 2008 Amber/copper color with a thin white head. Light malty aroma. Bitter hops and a light grainy flavor combined with the sweet malts resulting in a nice balance. No lack of flavor due to the organic ingredients.

Sep 9, 2008 Clear amber with a tight head. Mild malty sweet caramel aroma. Medium body. Decent flavor is sweet toffee malt with a lightly bitter hop bite to finish. Nice enough.
