Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Amber body with thin off white head. All I get is caramel malts on the nose along with maybe some nuts. Taste is caramel malts with a hint of nuts and hops. Short, bitter bite in the finish. Nice and drinkable.

Jul 13, 2008 The beer pours a light amber with a thin head that dissipates quickly leaving fine lacing. The nose is all sweet malts. The taste is sweet malts and a hint of caramel and hops. The finish is sweet and short.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Amber pour with an off white head. Mild roasted nutty aroma with an earthy hop presence. Flavor is dominated (in a good way) by an earthy hop flavor. I like it.

Jul 4, 2008 poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Aroma is lacking, but then again, I just had a hefe. A little hint of grass in the nose, maybe from the hops. App is very clear for an ale, nice dark gold color, not quite red. Small head that dissipated quickly. Slightly bitter in the taste, low hop aroma. I’m not sure what they were shooting for here, but it’s an ok beer. Not very malty, not very hoppy, not dark, not light. I’d drink this if there wasn’t anything left, but I’d ask twice if they was anything else.

Jun 28, 2008 I thought that this was a good beer although it wasnt really an esb but more of an amber ale in my humble opinion. Good aroma and notes of sweet bitterness come off the pour. The taste is hoppy with a hard finsh that stays with you for a little.

Jun 24, 2008 Pours light brown. Aroma is hoppy with a bit of sweet maltiness. Tastes of caramel and hops, but nothing too special. Great beginner beer, and I would drink it again.
