Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured hazy copper color with an average white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sweet hoppy aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium sweet hoppy flavor with a smooth toasted bitter finish of average duration. Solid drinkable flavorful brew.

Bottle. Amber with a small off-white head. Aromas are sweet toffee and caramel malts. Fruity with gentle hopping. Flavours are soft malts, especially caramel, with some fruit and yeast. Slightly sour with hints of chocolate. Has light grapefruit bitterness towards the finish. A good malty beer.

Bottle from Whole Foods, Raleigh. Gusler, your review of this one made me laugh my ass off! Pours dark straw with a gargantuan head. In fact, this one started fizzing over the bottle as soon as I opened it. Aroma of perfumy florals, hopcit, some grassy hints. Tastes very spicy, with a firm hopcit and fruit presence. Unique. Medium on the palate. Finishes hoppy, fruity, and with a dryness and smokyness that makes it stand out in the ESB realm, although my bottle states that it is a pale ale. Whatever you call it, it is very good, and for my money, worthy of repeated drinking. My glass looked like a milkshake glass when I was finished.

A golden ale with an extra thick frothy off white head, very carbonated. A pleasant citrusy malt aroma, grassy, lightly oxidized and biscuit. In mouth, crisp malt and light hopping, light mineral noted. Still in good shape. Tasted Nov. 2006, for a BB of 29-09-05.

Head is initially large, frothy, rocky, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly hoppy (flowers, orange), lightly malty (cookie), lightly yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Rather basic and uninteresting, really. Quite average.

Sweet caramel malts with earthy, floral, herbal hops front and centre. Hazy copper-tan coloured body is topped by a generous and lasting off white head that sticks to the sides of the glass. Caramel malts are strong in the flavour with fairly assertive balancing bitterness. Floral, leafy, herbal hops are very present in the mouth. Medium body with moderate to lively carbonation. Half pint glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle (BB 240707, Bièropholie, Jun-05).
