Aug 10, 2009 12 oz bottle @ Simone’s. Slight caramel and floral aroma notes. Nice copper color and great head retention. A good hop balance with a decent amount of mouthfeel, however it may benefit from more body.

Aug 4, 2009 Clear orange pour. Small amount of hops on the nose. Slight bit of protein. Taste has elements of a sweet red. Light hops. Some buttery elements. Nothing too fantastic.

Aug 3, 2009 [Bottled 4/16/08; consumed 9/17/08] Gorgeous dark orange look, cloudy and with a cidery haze. Thick finger of foamy white head. Really terrific-looking. Smell is a tad musty, but not horrible. Has a decent bready ale aroma. The hop is mild and spicy. Again, the taste is a bit musty too. And again, not bad. A little funkhouse touch to a regular ale base. The age doesn’t kill the flavor, but doesn’t optimize it either. A good pub ale flavor. Thick feel in a cream ale sort of way. A little chewy and bubbly. It’s a pretty good pub ale. Might be a tad old but still worthy nonetheless.

Jul 27, 2009 Amber with particles, small white head. Aroma of citrus and apricot, with some (fresh, not fermented) honey. Dry and malty flavour with a somewhat hoppy finish.

Jul 25, 2009 Cask at Trappeze. Poured clear copper, with a good amount of white foam. Aroma of caramel, light earthy hop, light sweet malt. Taste is lightly malty, with some sweetness, nice hop bitterness, and some earthy hop notes as well. Body was pretty moderate, with some nice cask carbonation. Overall, a decent bitter that’s not too over the top and very nice on tap.

Jul 12, 2009 Bottle sampled at the Left Hand tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 7/9/09. Pours clear copper with a medium off-white head. Very crisp aroma with a good hop and malt balance. Crisp hop flavor up front with some English malt character on the finish. Good ESB.
