(cask conditioned at the Larkspur Landing brewpub) Hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma was mild malt with a hint of hops. Flavor was a nice balance of hops and malt. Along with the cask conditioned mouthfeel, it was a real treat.

Cask at The Alembic in San Francisco. Hazy golden orange, very little head. Toffee malt, stonefruits, earthy/woody hops, tart somewhat acidic finish reminiscent of a California common style. Excellent.

Cask at O’Brien’s. Hazy brownish color. Mostly malty aromas. Flavor was similar but somewhat watery. Just OK

Murky glowing orange, sweet citrus nose, musty flavor of wheat. The malt is there, some pine hops with a bite in the finish. OK.

(Draft: Marin Brewing in Larkspur, CA) Not an especially malty or fruity ESB; Mild honey flavor, fairly dry with little sweetness; Moderately bitter and hoppy; Lightly smoky in the finish, but also has a mild dry hops flavor in the finish too; Not too much going on in the nose, maybe a little malty; The mouthfeel is quite carbonated; Deep amber, almost light brown in color and fully cloudy; Light tan head is sizeable on the pour, and has good retention, gradually fading to a ring; This was also on cask, and I’ll bet cask conditioning would do wonders for this ESB
