Nov 5, 2005 KC tasting. Brown, goldish color. Hops aroma. Caramel flavor with a nice hops flavor. Nice ESB. Hoppy for style? Best beer, IMO, of the hops in the city tasting.

Nov 4, 2005 On draught at the brewery. Golden amber in color with a thick rocky white head. Sweet spicy aroma. Hoppy sweet malt taste. Good, but almost like the Hop Harvest except less of everything. Hop bitterness shows up in the aftertaste.

Oct 16, 2005 05 Hop in the City/KC. Poured copper orange with a ring of foam around the top. Cara-malts, spicy hops, and rye carry this beer. I thought it was rather thin.

Oct 4, 2005 Updated: Nov 25, 2009Hop in the City: The rye flakes are noticeable in both the aroma and flavor and I wasn’t so sure they added much to this flavorful bitter. But they did add another dimension and that’s always interesting. The aroma, besides the rye, was filled with floral hops and malts. The flavor, below the rye, was of malts with a nice bitter aftertaste from the hops.

Oct 2, 2005 Hop in the City - the aroma is heavy on the rye with a fruity undertone - also slightly toffee like. The body is sweet caramel with some hop spiciness that is balanced by the bready malt. Nice use of English hops and rye make this an interesting brew.

Jul 7, 2005 on tap after a tour of the Schlafly Bottleworks. mild Brittish malt flavor with somewhat of a hop bitter finish. what really put me off with this beer was the over-carbonation of the brew which IMO detracted from the overall flavor.

Apr 6, 2005 Orange color with a thin white head. Very simple, slightly bitter taste. Just not able to get very specific on taste or scent for this one. Pretty generic, but perfectly drinkable.

Mar 26, 2005 Something weird with this bottle or my glass, but the smell was definitely off. I know Schlafly to be good by reputation, so I’ll assume it was a fluke. Attractive copper with white head. Good malty tastes with a nice hop presence. Somewhat cloying. Earthy finish (the rye?). Nice yeasty bitter slightly metallic aftertaste. Good, I’d like to try this more, to get a better feel for it. Interesting beer.
