DragonsHead (137), Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 15, 2007 Not a bad beer overall. Haven’t had it in awhile, but my palate must have changed. I remember the bite being a bit more brutal. Nice beer though. Good citrusy flavor. Beershine (2678), Hue, Vietnam Dec 14, 2007 Pours hazy copper color, not the nicest hue, but with a gorgeous head that redeems its looks. Straightforward metallic hop nose. Balanced and comfortable flavors, nothing outstanding and in that sense it’s a very good beer. Slight sweetness is a nice touch. Excellent palate: slick and a little chewy. la1965 (22), Los Angeles, California, USA Dec 10, 2007 At brewery in Portland. Exceptional brew. Loaded with hops with a great equal balance of malts as well. I could taste the cascade hops along with the english malts. Perfect carbonation troopie (851), USA Dec 8, 2007 Draught. Poured gold amber with lasting white head. Much lacing. Strong malt flavour with hoppy skin. Lekker citrusy/hoppy finish. Definitely worth seeking out. FlssmrBrewAlum (1079), Lisle, Illinois, USA Dec 5, 2007 Updated: Jun 14, 2008Bottle from Binny’s (Orland Park, IL). 12 oz. bottle poured into a conical pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy amber. Nice medium head that manages to stick around minimally after pour. Smells of hops, caramel malts, and some fruit action. Taste is a nice balanced hoppy attack that fades into a smoothness that tastes rather malty. Finish is rather bitter and sharp, but enjoyable in my book. Nice memorable aftertaste that I enjoy. A beer I have enjoyed many times before, but never rated. A top tier ESB. portermax55 (118), Canterbury, Connecticut, USA Dec 3, 2007 22oz. bomber. Pours a cloudy, pale gold color with a medium white head that dissipates quickly. Heavy aromas of hops, bitter fruit and some hints of spice. Flavor is of hops, bitter fruit and cinnamon. Mouthfeel is very soft and smooth. Nice ESB. Trev (850), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Nov 28, 2007 Orange copper colour with a thick off white foamy head.
Aroma was citrus hop.
Flavour is smooth and clean. Nice body with a medium bitter finish. Very well balanced. Allthatisevil (48), alabaster, Alabama, USA Nov 26, 2007 Nice orange / light red colour. Not to brutal however, it does have a nice strong bitter finish.
