Orange-amber color, fluffy white head that leaves a nice lasting lace. Sweet malt aroma, soft and creamy mouthfeel. Medium-Full bodied, very balanced with a taste of rye and caremel. The hops really stand out in the end. The is best one this brewery has to offer.

This is the best ESB I’ve had. I’ve always been a big fan of Schlafly and they didn’t let me down this time either. I put this ESB in my top 10 favorite beers.

Great beer, my favorite Schlafly. Nice hops, but clean and gentle at the same time, making it (maybe too?) easy to drink...

This is a great beer. i think you can only get it on tap at schlafly but it is well worth the drive. The atmosphere at schlafly is great they have about 10-15 beers on tap usualy and all of them are good. The food is great too. If you are ever in St. Louis be sure to stop in at Schlafly and grab a pint.

Wonderful sweet malt nose, beige head, nice lace, deep amber color and a medium body and moderate carbonation. A very malt sweet start, sugary almost, full top and a real pleasant hop finish that is quite surprising. rye is evident, but not overly so, a real interesting brew from an unknown brewery to me, thanks a million trap.

Incredible! A soft amber color and a modest residual head. The nose is very, very sweet. This ale produces weird raspberry fragrances. The fruit notes continue in the flavor where they mix with caramel malt flavors and a sharp bitterness. The palate leaves behind a nice hop bitter. All and all superb!
