truegen (139), Puyallup, Washington, USA Jun 4, 2008 Nitro pour at Maritime in Seattle. Deep copper color, fluffy head with perfect lacing. Just a bit sweeter than the typical ESB. The hops swept evenly along the tongue however, balancing out the maltiness rather well. I wanted to sample this non-nitro, but other brews beckoned. I’ll just say: if you can sample this on nitro, do it that way. Really tasty!
anders37 (2992), Malmö, Sweden Sep 24, 2008 Draught @ Jolly Roger Taproom, Seattle. Pours a clear amber color with a longlasting off-white head. Has a malty hoppy caramel aroma. Slightly sweetish malty hoppy bitter caramel flavor. Has a malty caramel finish with some hoppy hints in the aftertaste. BrewDad (1805), Olympia, Washington, USA Jul 31, 2008 <b>Pint - Eastside Tavern - Olympia, WA <br /></b>
Aroma – Nice fruity malt with a light hops aroma. <br />
Appearance – Amber in color, hazy with a thin head. <br />
Flavor – A decent beer this was far from a ESB. The flavors where just more like a good amber ale. Very light with bitter hops. <br />
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, decent texture with a good dry finish. <br />
Overall – This was a nice beer just not a ESB to style. Very easy to drink for a warm night it was good not to style this beer was off.
Skyview (3143), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Jun 24, 2008 On nitro draught at the Jolly Roger brewery/taproom grill in suburban Seattle, WA. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a creamy and thick off-white head that has some nice retention and sticky lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, a touch of pear, white pepper and some flowery hops. Taste is smooth and creamy (from nitro draw), with flavors of light toasted dark malts, and a hint of citrus. Finish is slightly metallic, with a mild bitterness and toasted malt aftertaste. The nitro pour was a nice touch. riversideAK (1951), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 17, 2008 On cask. Light aroma of caramel, toffee, pale malts, and some pepper and floral hops. Pours copper with a nice fluffy cask head. Flavors of caramel, toffee, a little bread, English malts, and some peppery floral hops in the finish. Nice drinkable cask ale.
