On draught at the tap room. Pours a dense dark amber color with a thick tan head. slightly coarse hoppy flavor tops the dry, mild maltiness.

On tap: medium depth amber color with a small head. Taste is sweet with malts, a bit of caramels, toffee, and a mild balance of floral and citrus hops. I liked this as an ESB, it retained the hops and malt separation without getting too much of the citrus/floral hop domination.

Light amber in color with light brown head. Light hoppy sweet aroma. Good bite up front with the hops, like agro said, seems more like an IPA than a esb. Finish is clean with a little tang on the end.

Off-white head atop clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, floral/orange, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, floral/orange, light caramel. Medium body with some chewiness. This has very nice bitterness, but seems to have too much for the style -- seems more IPA or West Coast APA than ESB.
