| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 25, 2007 I got this beer down in Florida at Case & Keg because of its Maine ties. I am not a big fan of this style, but I thought that I would give it a shot based on my brother’s advice.
Pours with a nice amber color and a 2 finger head that settles down pretty quick.
There is a bit of a yeasty smell initially along with some gentle spices.
The taste is a bit dry for me with some sweetness and some tannon hints-earthy maybe? I didnt detect too much hops, but there was some light maple taste.
The mouthfeel is nice, not too full, but plenty of taste-it just happens not to be my favorite.
I think that this could be a nice example of an ESB, but I dont know really too much since it isnt my style. mhelgason (495), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
