Commercial Description:
This ESB (Extra Special Bitter) displays the subtle copery hue of "Old Gold." Its mighty depth of flavor will awaken taste buds and complements "pub" fare such as lamb and game. It is a natural accompaniment with spicy foods. Bronze medal winner at the 1998 World Beer Championships.

It pours a cloudy orange amber color with no head at all. The nose is nice and aromatic with caramel malt and floral hops. It is a very bitter and sweet. You can taste the citrus hops. The taste fades quick but it is a strong flavor.

On tap at the Middle ages brewery tasting room. Some hops detectable in the nose. Good full flavor definitely a bit on the bitter side.

Dateless bottle. Pretty orange-tinged beer with nice head. Body has some heft to it, while flavor has a nice hop punch. Kind of woody hops, but I also detect some grapefruit. Dry finish, and some warming i the ribs to boot. The hops are there, it’s just a question of whether you like the flavors they add.

Bottle Pours a hazy copper with a lasting off white head. Has particles and floaters in it. Produces decent lacing. Aroma is bitter, citrus, pine, and caramel. Has a good carbonation. The mouthfeel is good. The flavor is mildly hoppy. A crisp beer. Has a watery texture. A fairly good finish with a funky aftertaste. It is good though. Has a light to medium body. This is a pretty good beer. A real nice picnic beer with ribs.

Bottle consumed after setting the first four hop poles in the hop yard. Nose is mostly hops but was interfered by all the smoke from the brush pile fire the wife and I had going. A deeper amber with a thin soapy head. A light malt body that is quiclky overtaken by the bitter, biting, non floral hops Drippy, thin lacing surrounds the glass in fine lines. Finish is the same top down hop charge as the majority of the beer. A bit unbalanced but a pleasant bitter nonetheless.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white head. Some light caramel, floral notes, bitter with a mild earthy with citrus notes. Lightly nutty. Simple and sessionable.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Golden orange in color with a good sized cream colored head. Aroma is of orange, pine, hops and a lot of grapefruit. Taste is of grapefruit and hops.
