Commercial Description:
Golden-hued and medium-bodied, Nestucca ESB features a floral, herbal aroma character balanced with a toffee-like toasted malt flavor. A tangerine-and-pineapple-like fruitiness merges with caramel flavors and a clean, hoppy finish to make this beer both refreshing and full of character. Dry hopped with Goldings hops for an even bigger fresh hop aroma!!

On tap at the brewery. This was a nice ESB, pouring a clear copper with a smooth white head. Lots of hops give a big floral aroma. The citrus hops balance out the beer against the toasty herbal malts with a light fruitiness.

Tap at the brewpub and sampled 5/14/05 Disclaimer: This rating may be skewed, as I had just finished the 55 mile leg of the Reach the Beach charity bike ride ... and it was served in a plastic cup. D’oh
Poured red and clear with a small head. It left a decent lace, considering the plastic(?!) cup. Aroma was hoppy and woody with a slight sweetness going on. Most likely caramel. Flavor was piney and grassy hops with a little bit of a sweetness there, too. It was very refreshing after a day of pedalling my ass off.

rated 4/19/03 Tea colored amber with a light off white head, and floral hop aroma. Hops are fairly well balanced with a touch of malt for a rather smooth finish, very enjoyable.

(Cask) This was a really delicious and smooth, somewhat sweet malty ESB. Has a wonderful fragrant hop aroma. Rich toasted maltiness, with some caramel sweetness and apple skin fruitiness.

A very smooth bitter. Sweet and floral tones, and ends with a fairly crisp hoppiness.
