Aurelius (2447), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jun 30, 2008 Sweet coldwater and cat pee aroma. Cereal, pepper, slightly briny, medium bitter. Starchy mouthfeel. Back to the workshop.
Naka (407), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA 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. zebracakes (972), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA 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. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 07/24/2007
