Jun 30, 2008 Sweet coldwater and cat pee aroma. Cereal, pepper, slightly briny, medium bitter. Starchy mouthfeel. Back to the workshop.

Jun 18, 2008 Pours a clear fizzy apple cider color with a thick eggshell head. A nice sweet toffee nose. Flavor is kind of on the weak side. There is a lot of grainy flavors without much bitterness to balance it. The texture is kind of watery as well. Pretty average ESB.

Sep 7, 2007 On tap at the Pour House. Clear, bubbly pale orange, off white head. Aroma is malt and grass. Flavor is the same with toffee, and of course watery.

Jul 11, 2007 Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color. Barely any aroma, just the typical hints of beerness. Earthly flavor that is very similar to the Babbling Brook. and the Ultra Light Tackle. Virtually flat even though I can see carbonation in the brew. Bitter as it’s namesake implies. Cannot hold a candle to Hobgoblin. More on the bitter side of ESB.

Jul 2, 2007 Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a bright orange color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was light sweet fruity hops. The flavor was tangy, fruity and bitter with a mild hop presence. There was a tangy finish.

Jun 17, 2007 Draught sample at brewery. Hazy medium amber with foamy white lacing head. Medium fruity hops in the nose, with light biscuity malt and raw grains. Medium watery body with smooth carbonation. Starts with nice grain maltiness. Biscuit and caramel. Mild bittering in finish with a nice smooth dryness. A really nice session beer. Sweetish with dry finish, full of flavor, but not overpowering in any dimension. I could drink this all day.
