Jan 8, 2005 Cloudy Orange gold. No head. sweetly spicy aroma. Very citrusy, resiny hop flavor, loong aftertase. It has very "fresh" taste - all the flavors "pop" as you drink it. Notes of resin in the finish. Tasty.

Oct 17, 2004 Bottle. My first thought on my first sip was, "Who put Alka-Seltzer in my beer?". A lot of stinging CO2. Strong cereal and malt flavors. Kind of an astringent bitter.

Sep 8, 2004 This ESB pours with a crystal clear, amber body topped by a thick head with lots of lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet, grapefruity and hoppy with a slight pine note and a touch of malt. A great aroma. The flavor is slightly sweet yet bitter from the hops wtih a slight grapefruit note, some piney notes and a very bitter finish. Medium to full bodied, slightly dry and smooth.

Aug 28, 2004 2004 bottle. Color: Bottle conditionied. Light reddish-brown. Light golds and yellows mixed in with a creamy, off-white mocha colored head. Aroma of extra-fruity hops, tons of ripe red and yellow fruits; very fragrant. Flavor: Begins quite dry and bitter, with some light fruit making itself known (strawberries, tart cherries). The hops seem very strong and bitter however, though it’s an ESB, I prefer a more traditional, more malty/earthy rendition. The flavor was certainly there, just too in your face bitter for my likes. Palate showed a creamy, lightly bubbly, medium bodied ale. Dry on the finish, peppery almost with hints of grapefruit.

Aug 26, 2004 Bottle 8/26/04: Poured a light amber/orange color with a small white head. Aroma of floral hops, grapefruit, herbs, bitter malt, and earth tones. Tastes like bitter, floral hops to start, moves to a sweeter hops and dark, bitter malt taste with some grapefruit, then finishes moderately dry, bitter, with hints of earth and chocolate on the tongue. Medium body, lively carbonation. Nice.
