Mine poured a very cloudy copper with a head that bolted almost instantly. Nose was of malt, bakery, and caramel, but it also had notes of salt and chlorine pool water! What the fuck? Thick mouth feel, like melted caramel. Moderate bitterness. Decent after-taste lingered on the ol’ taste buds a good long time. The strangest ESB I’ve ever had, to tell you the truth.

Jan 7, 2009 A pale amber beer with a 2 inch white head. Aroma of english malt and rich citrusy hops. Medium strength malt and hops flavor with a caramel-like finish. Palate is mildly sweet. Nice bitter aftertaste that is also a little sweet.

Dec 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured amber color with moderate white head. Sweet grains and bready aroma with little of the expected hoppiness for an ESB. Malty flavor up front with some bitterness on the back of the tongue with a rather dry finish. Medium body, with mild carbonation. Drinkable for sure.
