Dec 15, 2008 Bottle from Sun Devil. This is one strange ESB, but I am finding a lot of those lately. I was ready to call this a Pink Ale, because it is not a pale and falls just shy of a red in terms of intensity. Hops are not as present as promised, with smooth malt balancing them out. Shy fruit.

Dec 9, 2008 Poured amber with a nice sized tan head. Hoppy aroma. Taste of grapefruit hoppiness, but not too bitter. Some caramel and a touch of rye. Nice balance. A bit different for a winter ale, but I liked it. Will try again.
