Golden red and clear, with a short, coarse head and fine white lace. Nicely hopped with a gorgeous fruity and flowery nose, and resinous hop finish. Medium body with a perfect balance of malt and hops. smcmasters75 (3), USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Sep 23, 2007 This is a quality beer. Strong taste, sweet, but with enought hops to balance out the barley. A stand by beer. oshinnluv (2), USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Mar 18, 2007 Beautiful color and aroma with a straightfoward, clean taste that is balanced and refreshing. Hops are apparent but not overwhelming. FROTHINGSLOSH (2038), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 6, 2004 Updated: Jun 6, 2006I am not very familiar with this brewer as their products have only recently become available to me locally. Being as I am rather hummingbird obsessed I had to jump at the chance to try this one. Yeah, I know, not the best of reasons to choose a brew, but I am satisfied with my decision. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright bronze color with a medium sized yellow-cream colored head. The aroma was wonderfully sweet and fruity. The texture is thick. The flavor is sweet and contains ripe fruit, floral and fruity hops and caramel elements. There is a sugary hop finish. Really found this beer to be rather delightful and I will certainly try it again. ricardowess (25), Sedona, Arizona, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 12, 2002 This was my idea of a perfect beer a few years ago. I bought it again, and with some trepidation. Still excellent, with restrained (but still rich) hoppiness in the nose. The appearance is gorgeous--clear amber with generous belgian lace. The flavor is complex, full malt--not unlike Anderson Valley ESB. Delicious. This beer remains the standard by which I judge others of this particular style.
