An English-style Pale Ale. We chose to deliver this beer with a blended Nitrogen and CO2 gas mixture. This delivery method provides a smooth and silky texture to the mouth without compromising a balanced hop profile.

(Draft. Nitro. 03/2006). This is a very nice beer. Good job JC. Aroma: subdued; hint of maltiness with a bit of earthiness. Appearance: on Nitro, this was a joy to behold ... once the cascade of gas stopped, a beautiful, amber color with lasting white head. Flavor: as close to any English bitter I’ve had in England were it not served too cold ... tasty. Malty, hint of apple and pear .... very nice. Nothing overwhelms this beer and you could drink it all night. Palate: medium. Just right. Soft by virtue of the Nitrogen ... only wish it were on cask.

Amer ale with a thine white head. Light caramel malt aroma without much hops. Sweet malt in mouth, with unbalanced harsh hops. Overall, an unpleasant ESB. Russian River Beer Revival & Barbecue Cook-Off, August 20, 2005.

(Nitro draft: Moylan's Brewery in Novato, CA) Not especially flavorful, but pleasant nevertheless; Mild and smooth overall flavor is moderately sweet, lightly fruity (peaches) and floral, with a mild bitterness and even milder maltiness; The nose is mildly fruity mostly, perhaps light peach; Palate is soft and luxurious; Basic amber color; Large patches of small, clumped bubbles stick to the inside of the glass but below where the beer line is, sort of like soda; Off-white head is thick and creamy, displays excellent retention due to nitrogen dispensing; A thick coating of lacing slides down the glass and has trouble sticking initially, but eventually is able to grab ahold

Draft at brewpub. Light orange amber, nitro head. Dry, hoppy flavor. Very light but not watery malt. Very faint bitter aroma. Truly just a simple, decent bitter.

Bready, yeasty nose. Tasty light bread feel on nitro bubbles. Slightly sweet body and light, quick bitterness. Curious -- bready but light!
