This is a nice beer with a rich yet subtle malt profile focused mostly on the bready and biscuity flavors traditionally associated with an ESB. Good hops, well balanced nice woody and earthy aromas followed by a nice spicy flavor that fits well into this classic English style.

Nov 15, 2009 A clear dark golden colored beer, with a light beige head. The aroma of some bitter with fruits of citrus and orange. A little sweet. The taste is fresh with bitter. There is citrus with nettle and a little sweet. The aftertaste is bittersweet and fresh. A very nice beer for the summer.

Nov 13, 2009 A: Poured with an average-sized, creamy, frothy white head. Diminished to about 1/2-finger size over time. Body is amber-colored and hazy. A very nice looking beer.
S: Nice aroma of bitterness, with a bit of malt thrown in there for balance.
T: This is a great-tasting beer. Some caramel malt in the flavor, with a bitter finish. But the bitterness isn’t too heavy at all, it’s very nice and makes a beer that is actually quite smooth and easy to drink.
M: Medium-bodied and quite creamy, with average carbonation.
D: My first Rogue beer, and a great one to start with, in my opinion. One of the better bitters I’ve had so far, and quite easy to drink.

Nov 5, 2009 A great example of an ale to mellow out with. Tan ale color with minimal head. aroma of its two hop types. Flavor was slightly bitter with a soothing palate and just a slight metal finish. Best to be enjoyed at an all wood bar with a fireplace.

Nov 5, 2009 Bottled. Amber colour with mediumsized creamy white head that leaves slight lace. Aroma is fruity and flowery hops along with some mild notes of cookies/biscuits. Flavour is mostly caramel malts meeting bitter hopping. Quite nice ESB, a style I usually have a very hard time to like.

Oct 27, 2009 660 ml bottle, Fargo, ND, USA. Faint hazyness to the pale amber colour. Heavy lacing, frothy foam head. Spice, stone fruit aroma, deep bitterness underneath relatively bright fruit flavor. Complex finish that turns to raisins and burnt caramel.
