Aug 25, 2007 Bottle. Looks like a dark Hefe. Very subtle smell; it smells like unsalted almonds (after this was pointed out - or rather - suggested to me). It seems like this is a beer with bitterness that wasn’t well-developed. Perhaps, this indicates I am not a huge fan of ESBs, or perhaps it just wasn’t very great. A little watery for me, would prefer to have some more flavor to it.

Aug 24, 2007 Honey colored with almost no head. Unique malty smell.... Almost almond like, or amaretto sweetness to it. Maybe toffee? Taste is light nuttiness, again maybe of almonds, is smooth, slightly bitter in the finish and fairly good overall. Easy drinking, with a decent amount of flavor, and I could definitely have more than 1 of these.

Aug 22, 2007 (Tap) Pours an amber color with a small white head. Muted malty aroma. Nicely balanced, with good caramel and some toffee notes. Crisp hops impart a dry aftertaste. Pretty basic, but not bad.

Aug 19, 2007 Filtered, copper-amber hue with a creamy off-white top. Slight malty and metallic. Full-bodies mouth feel, but diactol is too much.

Aug 19, 2007 Draft at my friend’s wedding in Seattle. Poura a very nice looking copper amber with an off white head. Malty and wet grain aroma. Medium bodied with a wet texture that is rather rich for the style. Flavor of toffee and caramel that is balanced by a subtle bitterness. Some faint citrus notes mid palate. Finish is slightly buttery, but not the diacetyl bomb that I was expecting. This was by far a better choice than Bud Light.

Aug 15, 2007 Poured a nice effervescent copper, smallish off-white head. Aroma balanced hops & malt, pine and some lemon, yeasty, earthy. Slightly creamy, bracingly bitter, medium-length finish. Nice session beer.

Aug 9, 2007 malty aroma with moderate hint of earthy American style hop. nice foamy head. little bit hazy with low carbonation. taste of fruit and a little caramel or toffee in the malt and not really bitter. bit of straw in the finish. not bad at all. finish stays a while as a tang in the back of you’re palate.
