Bottled@HBF2009 (Thanks Tomas Czarnecky!). Hazy golden colour, mediumssized white head. Grassy and hoppy aroma along iwth some caramel malts, biscuits and mild fruityness. Flavour is grassy/fruity hops with big dryness to it. Also caramel malts giving it some sweetness. Wellbalanced and drinkable ESB.

Orangey-amber. Hazy. Wispy white head. Chewy, caramelly earthiness and mango fruitiness in the aroma. The palate is rich and woody, playing off again light tropical fruitiness. Caramelly, rich maltiness in the back. Long, sweetish, earthy finish. Robust rendition of the style, to say the least.

(bottled 11/6/03) Crystal clear amber body with tiny beige head, leaves dense lacing. Aroma is rich, sweet floral and cantaloupe, some caramel. Taste is earthy, floral, rye, dry finish. Medium-full body with nice chewiness. Many thanks Hopscotch.

Bottled (HBF2009, bottled 12.05.2008). Clear amber color, steady off-white head. Bready, a bit juicy aroma. Sweet caramelly malty and bready, ryeish American hops. A bit fizzy. More like APA than ESB.

Bottle... This beer rocks!... The nose is sweet and rich with a nice, floral burst. Notes of honey and caramel. This sparkling clear amber beer has an off-white, medium-sized frothy head. Partially lasting with decent lacing. Well-balanced flavor. Malty and rich up front, but well-hopped and somewhat bitter and citrusy on the backside. Between light and medium-bodied with an oily mouthfeel. Fizzy carbonation. Long, bitter, crisp, dry finish. A terrific offering from the St. Louis Brewery!

Bottle courtesy of Duane, sampled on 1/10/07: Pours a transparent orange bronze with a wispy white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malt with a touch of English hops. Body starts fairly full and sweet with a lightly fruity toasty caramel maltiness and a well-balanced bittersweet finish. A pretty good ESB.
