Dec 27, 2007 A mildly bitter, sessionable ale with warmth and depth. Fairly faint nose is malty with a whiff of dry, grassy hops. Flavor has mild bitterness by US ale standards, high bitterness by British bitter standards, with a lightly sweet edge and malty notes. Soft carbonation increases quaffability. Flavorful, subtle, refreshing.

Dec 16, 2007 Pure copper color, big sudsy head. Aroma of nicely caramelized malts with some floral hopping in the background.Very light fruitiness. Smooth and rounded up front with an aggressive (for an ESB) resiny hop bite. A strange combination of a water-like mouthfeel but with a med-full body makes this very easy drinking. Light carbonation but it has a slight carbonic bite. Finish is semi-sweet with a medium bitterness. Pretty nice ESB.

Dec 13, 2007 12oz bottle, courtesy of Gregis. Thanks, Greg! Pours a bright, clear yellowish-orange color; textured off-white head with good lacing. Pleasant amounts of orange hops and toasty maltiness in the aroma; fruity, in an orange-infused way that makes me think of something from DFH; the English character doesn’t make itself apparent at first. Lively carbonation and soft, resiny hop character upfront; medium mouthfeel; oily orange and noble hops appear throughout, plenty of fruit, with a rye or grainy note appearing throughout; nothing rough, just well-balanced with an excellent upfront hop character. Slightly mouthwatering and very fruity. Dryness comes through in the finish, showing biscuity malts and minerals. Tasty stuff.

Dec 11, 2007 Pours amber with a mostly maintained wispy tan head. Aroma of piney English hops, sticky fruits, coarse vinousness. Taste is vinous hop resins, sticky toffee, notes of plum, earthy malt, and tangy citrus. Mouthfeel is full bodied, lightly sweet with lush carbonation.

Dec 4, 2007 Tap/Bottle. This is a very nice ESB, whether you find it on tap or in a bottle. This ESB has a nice malty flavor and is very smooth and drinkable. One of my favorites from this quality brewery located (hidden?) in the heart of mass beer country (Saint Louis, MO).

Dec 1, 2007 Updated: Mar 28, 200812 oz. bottle from Lukas. Pour is a deep gold, clear, with a nice 2 inch white head. Aroma of biscuit malt sweetness, and some bitter hops. Taste is mostly the biscuit malt. Decent bitter finish. Taste reminds me quite a bit of Fullers London Pride, though not as put together. I had heard great things about this beer, but I thought it was just OK.
