Jun 19, 2008 On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours hazy amber with a moderate, fizzy white head, lots of thin sticky lace. Smells malty bitter with some slight sweetness. Tastes malty bitter throughout with a slight fruity sweetness towards the finish but the bitterness lingers. Medium body, good carbonation. Very, very nice beer.

May 4, 2008 Updated: May 13, 2008On draft at the Karl Strauss reception during the CBC week. Pours a very nice dark brown hue with a medium head that diminishes rather quickly. The nose is very malt driven with a tad of sweetness and some roasted nut notes. The flavor is a great balance of rich deep malts alongside of crisp, bright floral hops. This ESB has a good dryness and it ends nice and quick. I can’t wait to try Simon’s Imperial Brown and his English IPA.

Apr 23, 2008 Draught Deep brown with foxy highlights and a mossy shine; smalllish head. Malty, with an almondlike aroma. A sweetish underbuild, but well-(orangey, citrussy)hopped in flavour - oh surprise, surprise. Slick, but dry, not in the least from the rather un-British hopoils. Well, ’nuff said. Beginning SoCal brewer.
